These are faster than you need for a Mac (even the II only requires 120nS), and they have 9 chips even though a Mac doesn't use the parity bit (i.e. the last chip is wasted). Overkill, but they're available today. I saw another ad for under $300, but the type and speed were unspecified. Me, I'll wait. Howard A. Landman landman@hanami.sun.com UUCP: sun!hanami!landman
