Hello world, I've reason to believe that the price of memory is going to go up shortly. As a result, I've decided to look into expansion and am interested in info about such things as opinions about the different products available, prices, ease of installation, etc. I currently have a 2000 (I don't know what revision - how is this determined?) with the stock 1 Mb. I'm interested, if the price is right, in going all the way up to 9 Mb. In the last issue of _AmigaWorld_ I got before my subscription expired (January or February I think - I don't have it with me), I THOUGHT I saw the Microbiotics 8 UP product, fully populated, for ~$850 from Mass. based 'The Software Shop'. This was the best price I saw in that issue for a full 8 meg expansion. But looking in the current (special) issue (which I just went out and bought), there's no advertisement from 'The Software Shop' (which is unusual) so I don't know the current situation. I currently own the HardFrame 2000, I like it, and I'm pretty happy with Microbiotics in general (they had no problem paying for a Quantum 40 Mb I roasted as a result of their error) so unless somebody can give a good reason not to, I'll probably go in that direction (8 UP). So, again, I'm interested in any thoughts, opinions, comments, suggestions you might have. And I'm particularly interested in talking with somebody (via email) who has recently gone thru this. In advance, thank you - - Charlie
