Time constraints have kept me away from this group for a while. Nevertheless, I thought the following would be of use. My company decided to upgrade all of our Mac Plusses (Pluses?) and SE's from 2.5 to 4 Megs. In addition, one of our SE's needed to have 70 ns SIMMS installed to go with an accelerator. A quick check in the back of MacWeek and a few phone calls provided the following: "slow" SIMMS Company Phone (80 or 100ns) 70 ns Third Wave 800-284-0846 $45 -- ClubMac 800-CLUBMAC $44 -- Technology Works800-688-7466 $49 $49 (IBM-style) Memory Int'l 800-266-0488 $41.75 $48 (IBM) Lifetime Memory 800-233-6233 $41.50 $42.50 Shecom 714-637-4800 $47 $50 Chip Merchant 800-426-6375 $40 or $38 $55 (IBM) Dynamic Electronics 800-845-8228 $37.50 $47 LLB 800-848-8967 $41.50 $43 SII Micros 800-424-1126 $38.50 $43.50 Add-on America 408-746-1590 $43 -- Diamond 800-541-7126 $38 $42.40 Because Diamond is in Texas, I decided to go with them to save on sales tax. They charged us $7.50 for shipping and we were able to pay with a credit card without a surcharge. In addition, because we were ordering a fair number of units, we got the 100's at $37.50 each. I believe the order was placed last Thursday; the SIMMs arrived today. --Elliot Wilen Disclaimer: The above is provided purely as a service to fellow consumers.
