I've been trying to upgrade the memory on my NEC Powermate SX with the special 4MB memory expansion board that NEC offers. After calling around, I find that most of the clone board makers don't have it, and the lowest local dealer wants $1010. I was about to get it, but a friend insisted that's too much to pay. Sure enough, PC Week shows prices hovering around $100 per MB!!! That's over $600 for the 0K board!!! Does anyone know of a place to get NEC memory boards cheap? (Or even for a reasonable price, like Marshall L. Buhl found the 4MB Compaq memory for $600?) Failing that, would a standard $99 AT memory board suffice? ...Mike ======================================================================== Michael B.
