- I just wnet to Fry's Electronics in L.A. and noticed that they were selling
- "VRAMS" 64K*4 for .39 each ($0.39 - yes). They were labeled on the shelf
- as "4464 VRAMS", and were in ZIP packaging.
-
- When I took it home, it was labeled 41C464, which according to one of my
- memories' data book, is just an average DRAM.
-
- Can anyone confirm this?
-
- (BTW, at $0.39 a piece, I'm not particularly bothered that they aren't
- VRAM's, but I want to make sure because I'm designing a mini-video
- controller, and I can use either, but I need to know which.)
