Remember paying $338 for ea. of two 8meg sticks of FPM back in '93 when I built my first system....along with a $950 P90 (The flawed one at THAT!)

Predicament:
With memory prices SOOOoooo low right now, I have this incredible urge to run out and buy a couple gigs worth. Thing is....I don't need it...I think.

256MB in my main system, 128MB in wife's system, and 128MB in the gateway (overkill)

Then the problem of 'will this type of memory even be useful in the next 2 years?'
Reason asking is because I wonder if I will be switching to a RDRAM system or DDRAM or something else which would make all my memory practically useless.

I dunno. Bottom line, do I REALLY need to buy more just because it's SO friggin cheap?
