Sometime ago, there were a lot of postings about cheap mail-order SIMMs. Could someone post (or E-mail) the phone/fax numbers of these companies again. No '800 numbers' please, I am ordering from abroad. And ... It would be nice if you could supply the current prices too.

I just got a fair line on 8x1 MB 80ns SIMMs, $83 each!! The one hitch is you have to buy at least 200 units. 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).

You can get SIMMs from the Chip Merchant at $79/SIMM-- 80ns, low profile. The Chip Merchant 800-426-6375 619-268-4774 FAX: 619-268-0874 BTW: Do these SIMMs work in the NeXT? b.bumgarner wb1j+@andrew.cmu.edu

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.

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)

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. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 {att,philabs,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy -or- roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu "The connector is the network"

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

I have been running with 4 of these Chip Merchant [Korean] SIMMS for a while, as well as 4 extra Toshiba. 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.

Much has been mentioned about The Chip Merchant, but no one seems to have used
them. I bought four 1 Meg Simms from them about 4 months ago, at $64 a piece.
They are Samsung Simms (or were when I purchased them) and are 80 Ns. They
were easy to install, although the Chip Merchant provides no instructions of
any kind. I went on the learn-by-doing system. Anyway, no problems with them
at all, and I have been very happy to have the expanded memory. The only
disadvantage is that they ship UPS COD Cash only, which means you have to have
either cash or a cashier's check when your simms arrive. The information:
