This says $65 USD. $65 << $107.

Here's the direct paste from the page

184-pin DIMM
256MB  DDR PC2100 CL=2.5   Non-parity  CT3264Z265 $72.99 $65.69 $7.30 Yes

(the last prices are "web price" and "you save").

Here's the URL. Seems bogus to me to be that far under market.

http://www.crucial.com/store/PartSpecs.asp?imodule=CT3264Z265

Thats $USD. This converts to ~$102 CDN which might have confused people
when I was talking about system prices. Lets stick to $USD for now.

$65.69.
