Our staff here are getting quotes of about $500 for each megabyte of add-on memory for our MAC-IIs. This sounds like a lot to me. I'm interested in what kind of prices (outrageous or otherwise) other people have paid for memory recently.

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

Bill, PSI of Milpitas, CA is selling 1 Mb surface mounted CMOS SIMMs for $400 each. The one that I got were Fujistu chips. They purchase the chips and assemble the SIMMs in Japan and then sell them here. Price is a bit much, but I guess that you have to pay a premium for surface mounted, CMOS SIMMs and for their availability.
