    I just went through this exercise two weeks ago...
    
    The cheapest 256K DRAMS that I found were at Solid State Sales in
    Cambridge Mass. They are a division of Eli Heffron, seller of computer
    junk - mostly used DEC stuff. The price was $11 each for Sanyo 150ns
    chips. The chips did not appear to be used. They will do mail order.

  Buy a COMputer Shopper and look through it...

  I've heard that one should use 120ns.  All the 1040s I've seen used 120s as 
did my 520.  (Or was that only for > 1 meg upgrades?)

    I'm almost positive the factory-supplied rams in my 520 are 150s.
