We want to upgrade the memory in an DN3500. Someone told us about a company named Clearpoint? Anyone out there know where this company is located and/or the telephone number. Or any other sources other than Apollo? Charlotte Hawley Ohio State Univ.

ClearPoint has a good rep., but ain't as cheap as some, I've heard. They have been around awhile, and offer lifetime warrantees. >Or any other sources other than Apollo? A company named DataRAM has just expanded to the Apollo RAM market. They have been in the DEC, etc., market for over 20 years, according to their brochure. Their products are covered by lifetime warrantees as well, and guarantee next business day replacement via FedEx, free of charge. This sounds pretty good to me, so now can someone compare their prices for us? DataRAM charges $675 for 2MB boards and $1550 for 4MB boards. I didn't ask about 1MB boards. Shipping/handling is about $5. The (very impressive) salesperson I dealt with was Hugh Tucker, 714-836-5988 BTW, these were list prices I was given. So how are ClearPoint's prices? ...lori P.S. 4MB boards only work with x500 series Apollos.

Someone told >us about a company named Clearpoint? I followed up last week to this request with a post about DataRam. Clearpoint saw the post, and gave me a call. As far as prices are concerned, comparing list prices isn't meaningful since Clearpoint's discount was very substantial. For us, they are in the same ballpark as DataRam. I suggest anyone interested in prices should call directly for a quote rather than relying on what someone else paid. (Usually a good idea, but especially true in this case.) Both companies have trade-in policies for upgrades. (If you own a Mentor workstation, you probably already have Clearpoint memory in your machine.) I haven't seen any other followups to this post. Did I miss the mention of any other RAM suppliers? I have a DN3000 suffocating with only 4MB of RAM. We need to look around before we buy. ...lori
