There's other places, like CompUSSR that might have it.  IF you live
in/near Grand Rapids, there's always the local computer shops (GPC being
my personal favorite).  They'll usually have OEM RAM, and they might
have a few boxes of PC100/PC133 left.  Failing that, I might be able to
locate you a 16 MB DIMM that I used way back in the day ;)
