You're not crazy. Memory prices have plunged to the $20-$25/meg range
recently. Can't say why, although I'm sure someone out there will jump
contribute. It' s too bad that it took until now for the prices to
drop; sure would have been nice to pay these prices when I upped my
system memory for Linux. Oh well....

Rudy, I agree with you that the prices posted were too high, but it
makes me wonder when the various PC manufacturers are going to drop
their prices.  It wasn't that long ago that 16MB EDO ran $ 600, and
it's down to $ 269 in the San Diego area.  One would expect some
serious system price drops soon due to cheaper memory prices, not to
mention CPU prices continue to drop.

I don't have a web site for you, but here are the best prices
advertised here in San Diego. Most of the prices are 20-25% lower.

A caveat about apples and oranges: here in the south SF bay area, one
of our regional computer superstore emporiums, Fry's, sells 72 pin
SIMMs at several price points.  They just ran a 2-day ad for 4 Meg
1x32 60 ns EDO for $65 (albeit, good luck getting one of the likely 10
pieces per store) but the SIMMs contain DRAMs of mixed and sometimes
unknown origin and there is either no warranty or a very limited one -
maybe 30 days - though they do exchange any defectives.  But alongside
those they'll sell you a "name-branded" SIMM of the same type
(Toshiba, maybe, or Sharp, etc.) for around $99 with a year warranty,
a part with a 3 year warranty for maybe $130, and a lifetime warranty
part (whatever that means - they'll likely to be thrown away as
uselessly obsolete before they wear out) for somewhat more.  (All
figures approximate; I was really looking for 70ns non-EDO yesterday.)
Point is: might be misleading to compare  on price alone.

At a computer show (these occur with shocking frequency
around here (Wash. D.C. area)) the prices for both memory
and CPUs were easily 10% to 20% LESS than those advertised
here on the Net. I bought both a 166MHz Pentium and 32Mbytes
of parity SIMMS from a local shop there, popped them into
the MB, and I was a happy camper. Pushed the memory to 60ns
from its rated 70ns and was STILL a happy camper. I saved
approximately 18% on the memory, not sure what on the CPU.

And they were name-brand SIMMS, too, Kingston and PNY.

Pardon the spam in posting a reply to all these newsgroups, but I smell 
the need for a caveat emptor here.

If you check out the NCA website you'll notice that the $58 price for 4 
megs of memory is in the "basement" section, where you will find prices 
seemingly too good to be true.  Peruse the rest of on-line store and 
you'll notice prices more in accord with other mail-order vendors.

So, buyer beware.  If something seems too good to be true, it probably 
is.

Hey! do you know if you can pop in a 166mhz pentium into a 100mhz 
pentium? Do the clock ratings have to change on the MB or is that done 
internally to the chip??

This all depends on the type of board you have. Many motherboards now will accept "100Mhz to 166Mhz", chips (as 
advertised), but it isn't as easy as just popping in the chip. You may have to set the jumper on the motherboard to the 
correct clock speed. I know that on my Intel Plato Motherboard (Gateway 2000 P5-90), there are 4 jumpers that correspond 
to 4 different speed CPUs (although Gateway claims that this motherboard won't accept anything higher than 90Mhz). You 
would need to look at your documentation and see if the motherboard is compatible. Either that or call tech support.

I have a Micron Millenia P-100, I'm not sure what the speed limit on that
board is... I know it can go at least to 120Mhz...
Anyone out there know if the Millenia (from 1 yr ago) can be jumpered to
166Mhz? I'd love to pop in a 166 in there (and considering the bus speed
is the same 66Mhz for both the 100 and 166, that's great!)

Hi Ricardo:

I copied this from Micron Forum in CompuServe, quoting a note from
Sharky of Micron Tech Support:

>>In order to be able to upgrade from the P133 to the P166 you need to have a

According to this, since your Millennia P100 is about a year old; you
do not have the Rev B MB; therefor, P166 is not possible to be
installed on you system.  I hope this helps.
