We are looking to buy some extra memory for our RC2030. It currently has
8 MB and we would like to extend this to 12 or 16Mb. When we contacted 
MIPS about this, they said that they only upgrade in increments of 8 MB, and
moreover, they charge something of the order of $375/Mb, which seems pretty
steep to me. 
	My question is, are there any third-party vendors that supply the
memory for the RC2030, and are reliable/cheap/provide fast service ? We have
to send out quotations for the order, and our Purchasing department is very
adamant about getting the cheapest source that is reliable. 
	Thanks in advance.
