Lines: 17 Keywords: RAM,prices . I'm going to be upgrading my 800XL to 256K this month, but am undecided as to which upgrade to go with. The RamboXL from ICD sells for $29 mail order, but does not include the RAM chips. The Newell 256KXL from Newell Industries sells for $55 mail order. Anybody have any comments (pros/cons) about either? Is one easier to install than the other? Is one more "XE compatible" than the other? And, *most* importantly, which works out to be cheaper? (ie- how much does a set of RAM chips (I believe 8 256k 150ns DRAMS) go for these days?) Any info greatly appreciated. -Ray wilmott@topaz.rutgers.edu
