I want to know who these guys are and if they're reliable too. I finally got tired of chugging along on an unmodified SE and I'm in the mood for another 2meg of memory or so. If the $89.00 price is legit I might very well become a customer of these guys. Oh, if somebody wants to include an address or phone number along with a review, I'd be much obliged. Thanks.

They have been very reliable. Of course I always pay the little extra for C.O.D. but I feel more secure doing it that way. They may require cash if it's your first time doing business with them.

Is Chip Merchant reliable? Define reliable... If you mean do the chips work, well, they sure seem to. I popped 4mb into a friends SE the other day, and it's still chugging along nicely... these wer the 1MB low profile surface mount SIMMs... Sorry, but I don't remember how fast they were... I think they were 120ns.. but could have been 80ns. Anyway they shipped them right away... unfortunately they don't take credit cards.. Certified Check or Money Order I believe. Hope this help make up your mind. Geoff. gcrooks@unc.bitnet RatRunner@cup.portal.com

They're 100 ns. Don't make this mistake. Actually, they are both (or either). It depends on what they have in stock the day you order (they will only take orders if they have simms in stock, its frustrating some days, but ok since they have an 800 number). This week I got one order of 80's and one of 100's. They will always tell you what they are shipping that day if you ask. Anyway, at the moment it couldn't matter less what speed you get as long as they are 120 or better. Obviously the IIci may need 80's when announced next week, but I've not heard that in the specs yet.

[buying SIMM's from Chip Merchants] What the heck, might as well add to the clutter....(-8 I just upgraded to 4 megs, using chips from a local business. The only thing I'm leery of where Chip Merchants is concerned is that their chips have a 5-year warranty. Many, many chips on the market have lifetime warranties. Seems like NOW is a good time to buy chips. Prices are really down. Chip Merchants has them for $89, while they were $110 just a few weeks ago. The store where I got mine had 100ns chips for $99, and they installed them while I waited. Lifetime warranty, too. Chip Merchants will ship COD, Next Day UPS, whatever you want. For what it's worth, their current SIMM's are made by Samsung. I must add, go to 4 megs if at ALL possible. 2.5 is great, but 4 is TERRIFIC! Ron Morgan osmigo@emx.utexas.edu
