We ordered 4 extra megs from our supplier who graciously gave us a "price break" from $2500 to $1500, installation included. We received the memory a week before its due to be installed. Being the curious sort, I wanted to look at the "memory board" and I found out that it was 4 1-meg SIMMs (80 ns). At $1500? Is there something special about them? (Prices in back of PCweek list the same SIMMs for $190 each) I am thinking of returning them and buying SIMM's on my own. It would be alot cheaper. Does anyone see any problems with this? Is it the same for 3/80's as well? We plan to get those in soon as well. As far as I can tell you drop the SIMMs in (4 meg increments) and move a jumper (same as ethernet jumper). Am I on the right track? uunet!dialogic!gerry | | Dialogic Corporation OR | | 129 Littleton Rd gerry@dialogic.UUCP | | Parsippany, NJ 07054 | | (201)334-8450
