Ok. I find myself running out of memory for developement around here. I'm trying to work out, what would be the cheapest way for me to get more memory. A couple questions about selling off my existing stuff.. How much could I get for a 1.5M AE GSRam card. I would prefer this route, and then to buy a AE GSRam+ card probably in its minimum configuration, as AE really doesn't have the lowest prices on chips (ie.. 41256 chips are about $3.80 now a days. What does AE sell them for?).. I need at least 2M if not more... So about how much are the chips used on the GSRam+ go for? I assume about half to 3/4 of the equivelent price of a 256k chip? (ie. between 7.60 and 11.40 according to my caculator??) AE doesn't take back cards, or used memory, so the only thing they can suggest is that I get the piggyback expansion at $600 or so, so I have a total of 3.5M. I don't need that much... The linking is what kills me of course, since the linker tries to hold everything in memory all at once. Apparently the people who made it are used to virtual memory systems? Oh well someday we'll have reasonable tools to work with.. I just wonder how much memory was needed to link something like IIGSmoria or Appleworks GS... -- UUCP: uunet!marque!lakesys!dougm Compuserve: 70611,2215 INET: dougm@lakesys.lakesys.COM GEnie: D.MCINTYRE1 ALPE: DougMac

>AE doesn't take back memory cards
AE does have a trade in policy. You can trade in your GS-Ram toward a GS-Ram+
card. I don't have the details, but you can call them to find out what it
costs.
