The 4MB upgrade for an A310 is done by IFEL. I think it costs 399 now if
THEY DO IT. 350 if you do it... check prices in press.
Includes MEMC1a as well.
I upgraded my Arc over Christmas, and got the memory fitted by one of the
Physics Technicians at my Univ. I wouldn't do it myself as my soldering isn't
up to it, but if you are happy with your soldering, it is not very difficult.
Since then, the prices between doing it yourself, and IFEL doing it have got
much closer - so, if you're worried, paying the extra 50 quid is probably
worth it. As for the upgrade itself - I've not complaints.
Jason.
