"Yes. 1GB is 1000 MB, approximately 4 times bigger than 256MB. I'm not quite sure why the 256MB memory card would cost more on Amazon.com though."

To answers simply, not all RAM is equal. Although commonly broken down by categories the like of DDR2, DDR3 etc, it really comes down to processing speeds & write speeds.

Also consider that legacy-type hardware (ie, components for older systems) were not mass-produced to the same extent as contemporary equivalents, meaning that parts, such as RAM, for older machines is still often more expensive than current (often blazingly faster faster) components.
