[comp.periphs] IRIS third party memory

quixote@utcsri.UUCP (Ian Small et al) (01/28/87)

We currently own a Silicon Graphics IRIS 2400 with 2MB of core.  We wish
to expand the memory in the IRIS as we are currently encountering some
undesirable swapping in interactive programs.  Silicon Graphics will
be happy to sell us a 1 MB or 4 MB expansion, and will laugh all the way
to the bank if we buy it from them.  Our impression is that we might
be able to buy 4 MB of third party memory for what SG is proposing
to charge us for 1 MB (about $2500).  Has anybody out there bought
third party memory for an IRIS?  If so, would you please e-mail comments
about it:  who you bought it from, does it work, are you happy with
it, etc.  Any comments/experiences/advice on this subject would be
appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
