In other words, you need to pop $498 to add 2 Meg or a grand to upgrade to 4 Meg. The upgrade is user installed and will probably void your warranty if it hasn't already expired. About the only way to avoid voiding the warranty is to have an apple certified dealer install it. If you can talk one into installing these cheaper simms it shouldn't void the warranty. As to the quoted $199 price "That was an earlier price and we were unable to get the chips at that price." You decide whether or not it's misadvertisement. It doesn't appear that they ever had any... Still looks like a bargain to me if you don't mind dealing with folks who will quote a price they can't meet. -- David W. Berry dwb@well.uucp dwb@Delphi dwb@apple.com 293-0752@408.MaBell
