If anyone out there is interested drop me a note and I'll add you to the list (no money to me, we'll all order directly from the company. We just need to insure them of a big order).

The one hitch is >you have to buy at least 200 units. If anyone out there is interested I just ordered some 8x1 M 80ns SIMMs for $79 each. I only had to order two. I was doing an upgrade to a Macintosh for a friend so I didn't get enough to test them out on the NeXT but I have transferred the 4 1M SIMMs in my Mac II to the NeXT with no problems. I found the company advertising in the back of MacWeek. They only ship COD the total cost was 2x$79 + ~$6-7 for shipping & COD. The company is: The Chip Merchant 1-800-426-6375 for orders and 1-619-268-4774 for info. The SIMMs arrived in less than a week and come with a 5 year warranty. PS - I don't have any affiliation with any of the companies mentioned above.

I have no affiliation with Chip Merchant other than having bought over 2 dozen simms from them for myself and friends over the last few months. Note that these simms are fine for all macs including the IIci (Mine is humming along great). ------------------------- Josh Hodas (hodas@eniac.seas.upenn.edu) 4223 Pine Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 (215) 222-7112 (home) (215) 898-5423 (school office) >From: morrison@grads.cs.ubc.ca (Rick Morrison)

Date: Sun 12-Nov-1989 03:50:28 From: Unknown Subject: Re: Cheap SIMMs This is an update regarding a prior posting about the avalibility of $83 8x1 MB 80ns SIMM boards. Many of you informed me of the $79 (or there about) price from the "Chip Merchant". Many thanks to all of you. I passed this on to the distributor and he is willing to go as low (ha!) as $65. This isn't so bad, but hardly worth the effort of a group buy. So unless there is considerable interest at this price lets all order from the Chip Merchant or Technolgy Works. I will send ordering information to all who request it (and those who were interested before). Reply's to: dnp@math.ucla.edu In real life: Dan Port >From: roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith)

I don't mean to put a damper on your entheusiasm in looking for a good deal, but Chip Merchant has been advertising a $79 price for the SIMMs you describe, Quantity 1, for the past few weeks in MacWeek. We ordered 8 Meg a little while ago (paid a bit of a preminum because we issued a Purchase Order and had them bill us after shipment but still got a good deal). One set of 4 was DOA (we didn't bother to isolate which of the 4 it was) but they replaced it without any trouble. It seems that for a Q200 order, you should be able to do better than $79 and certainly better than $83.

What is interesting with 16 MB is that when a page fault occurs, it seems to take longer to get the working set figured out.
