I bought mine from
        Solflower Computer, Inc
        Suite A-108
        1630 Oakland Rd
        San Jose, CA
        (408)452-5780

Their list price was $US1595 for an 8M board with 4M of SIMM on it.  My
purchase price was less because of educational discount.

I liked the idea of a memory upgrade to which I can later add another 4M.

The memory arrived promptly after the order was placed.  Installation went
fine, except for a bit of confusion regarding what to do with jumper J108
(though the included troubleshooting sheet quickly led us to a solution)

All in all, I'm a satisfied customer.
