That depends on the RAM chips, how rare they are, and how much you need
them.

Why? Because you can't find boards full of them any more, or because such
boards are actually useful complete (this certainly applies to some
Unibux memory boards, S100 boards, PERQ memory boards, etc). Or because
you can't find a use for 4164s or 41256s? (I certainly can!)
