We have a 750 with 1 MB of old style memory, and want to upgrade to 2 MB. We could spend $10K and upgrade our backplane and memory controller, or we could just buy another MB of old memory. I've seen a price of $7500 to buy old memory, and been offered $1K in tradein for our current MB. It seems that between these two extremes there might be a reasonable third party transaction possible. (We can buy 1 MB of new memory for $2500, but that would involve swapping CPU's with another in the lab with the new backplane, which would be a moderate pain. However, it's clear we can't justify spending over $2500 for 1 MB of the old memory.) Lacking any offers of memory for sale, does anyone have any suggestions about places to go or avoid for memory? Is $2500 too much for a MB of new memory? Mark
