Because of this, I've been calling around checking on prices. I thought that some of you comp.sys.next readers might be interested in what I found out. First of all, at least two companies (actually the salespeople) said that they expected the prices of 1MB SIMMS to go up in the near future. Apparently, the Japanese manufacturers are pushing 4MB SIMMS by making it more difficult for distributors to obtain 1MB SIMMS. Hopefully this means the price of 4MB SIMMS will come down (maybe not). The most promising source of 4MB SIMMS that I found was Peripheral Outlet in Ada, OK. ([800|405]-332-6581) They are asking $195 for 4x8, 80ns low-profile *vertically mounted* 4MB SIMMS. (this quote was given by Michelle) The brand name was NMB. Has anyone dealt with Peripheral Outlet that would care to share their experience? Does anyone have any info on NMB? If so, please send me a note.
