There were several messages during December about 3rd party sources
for memory. I only saw responses for Clearpoint, also Dilog/Clearpoint
(a redistributor?). 3rd party, I don't know--I've heard it said that
Apollo here in France buys its memory from Clearpoint, and there's not
much of a difference in the price.
Are there any other 3rd party sources? A supplier which (unlike
Clearpoint) which DOESN'T have a distributor in Europe might be more
interesting, so we could buy direct from the U.S. Prices tend to go
up a lot more when things come here in the hands of distributors instead
those of FedExpress. We need to buy memory for DN3000 and DN4000
workstations.
If someone who has recently bought memory in the U.S. could give
me some idea of the price scale, it would be interesting, and maybe
a bargaining point for us. Here we have a figure near $3000 for
4 Meg (with some 20% of the difference perhaps coming from taxes).

I just got a mailing from a company called Dataram which is now offerring memory for DN3000's and DN3500/4000/4500's. They did not include prices in the mailing, but claimed that "prices start at $1000, half the price of Apollo ..." which presumably means that a 2MB board is $1000. They claim to offer a lifetime warranty and an "express spares" program (board swap?). I have no experience with this company, but they apparently have an office in the UK. The US. address is: Dataram Corp., PO Box 7528, Princeton, NJ 08543-7528 Tel. 1-800-822-0071 The UK address is: Dataram(Europe), Mere House, Mere Park, Dedmere Road, Marlow, Bucks, England SL71PD Tel.
