The normal price for this guy's 2-MB upgrades were $848, and he "credited" me $400 for my 4 256K's. Was I dumb in doing this, since I could have gotten 2 1-MB DIP SIMM's (as opposed to the other surface-mount ones) for $650. Also, what is the difference between DIP and surface-mount SIMM's ? Any difference in performance/compatibility? _____________________________________________________________________ Please reply via e-mail; I just don't have enough time to go thru the entire newsgroup. Thanks a lot!
