Pc133 Ram...

[Clown]

Is So Bloody Expensive!

If it's expensive from the likes of dabs/scan try eBay - ~£24 for 256Mb, ~£35 for 512Mb.

Only one of those links helped Monkey, the www.aria.co.uk one.
I'll have a look at eBay too.

Cheers.

erm yes..

Sorry, the searches expire after a bit. If you have a look at the company, then do a search in their own search box for pc133 it should come up with something.

Expensive? pfft I remember buying 4MB of ram from a mate of mine, who'd nicked it out of some other computer at work. Price? £70.

I seem to recall paying over £300 for 4MB many years ago, to go in my £1500 Amstrad P.O.S. 286 PC.

The price of ram for the Amiga500? You had to buy a card the size of a soundblaster live!
And it cost almost as much as the machine itself (£300 if memory (pun intended) serves.

The RAM for the Amiga 600 wasn't that big - about 6 cm by 4cm if I recall corectly.

Mine burned - 200 quid up in smoke... atleast the warrantry covered it and I got a new one.

A500 RAM wasn't too expensive either, £40 for the half meg upgrade, which my parents tried to sneak in before my birthday and thought I wouldn't notice... But I did, XCopy always used to need me to swap discs twice before it would write a disc and after they stuck the memory in it was able to do them in one hit...

It's only really the memory for the older amigas which cost a lot, A1000, A2000, A4000 AGA - because there were simply less machines out there and thus fewer modules sold.

I can't remember how much the "sideways" ram was for the BBC. It was 64K extra and since it didn't quite sit in its socket nicely I remember having to pick up and drop the computer everytime you used it to reseat the extra ram! Suprisingly enough it worked!
