You only need *32* for machines such as Macs which don't use parity memory. Also if you know where you can get a megabyte of memory for $37.50, please tell me. Steven Fenger fenger@cps.msu.edu

I recently ordered 1meg x 1 80ns chips from Microprocessor Unlimited for $5.25 each. Microprocessor Unlimited has been around for at least five years, and I've never had a bad chip from them in over 20 orders. It's obvious to me that $150 for 32 chips of unknown history is not enough of a bargain to tempt many people in today's market. Clarence Wilkerson

So, if I were to buy 4 more Megs, I would need exactly 32 chips. Sounds like you are rather wrong. Bill Warner wtw101@psuvm.psu.edu
