Sun Memory

[agabriel at coe.neu.edu (Anthony J. Gabrielson)]

Hello,
	Well after a few phone calls I determined I lucked out, I think.
I spoke with crucial on the phone (they are the leading supplier of memory
in this country), one of there tech support guys.  He was very sharp - he
determined from my description I had 5v tru parity memory, and they only
charded $98.61 per stick (I need two).  I thanked him went to pricewatch
and got two of them for about the same as what one he was going to charge
me for one of them.  I'm also glad - due to the overwhelming cost of sparc
memory.  I was priceing it out from sun - its like $260 for 64 megs.  My
god - I didn't even pay that for the system.  Well know to wait for it to
come in, and maybe even work....

Thanks for the help,
Anthony
