I would >appreciate any advice/comments. I just ordered 2 4Mb SIMMs for my LC from Peripheral Outlet in Ada, OK (800-332-6581) for $162 each. My experience with these folks was quite satisfactory. In the past I have also had good luck with Leo Electronics and IC Express (800-421-9565 & 800-877-8188 respectively). If you are comfortable with installing your own memory, then there is nothing one of the larger organizations will give you at a higher price than one of the cut-rate places can give you for much less. However, you should buy from reputable companies. Non-delivered SIMMs at a lower price are not cheaper than higher priced, but in-hand, ones. :-) -- .. Timothy A.
