Note that the 1meg*4 parts are 4 megabit chips, as opposed to the 256K*4 parts, which are 1 megabit chips. This means that to buy 1 megaBYTE of ram (assuming the above prices), would cost you: - in 1 meg parts, $10 * 8 = $80 - in 4 meg parts, $75 * 2 = $150 What can I say.. the 4 meg parts are VERY new, just having appeared on the general market in the past month or two. -larry -- NeXT. The hardware makes it a PC. The software makes it a workstation. The units shipped makes it a mainframe. -=stolen from Hazy=- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
