- A couple of questions and comments.
- First: what is the current time delay between ordering a system
- and the shipping date? And please, I'd like a realistic answer,
- not the standard "Oh, 2 weeks, no problem." If it is going to
- take over a month, fine, as long as I know in advance.
-
- What is the current vide card that is ACTUALLY shipping?
- I know for a while you folks were advertising one, but needing to
- ship another due to availability problems. Is the loca bus video
- card shipping and is it in fact any faster than the Diamond 24X?
- If not, can I order the 24X instead?
-
- Any clue (since I've not heard elsewhere) when/if the
- P24T chip will ship for upgrading?
-
- Finally, I'm thinking of ordering a machine with 8 Meg
- of RAM (instead of the 16 Meg package). However, I want to be able
- upgrade the machine to the full amount someday (64 Meg I believe).
- Will I be able to do this without throwing out the original 8 Meg
- of RAM?
-
- The machine I'm looking to order is the Package #3:
- 486DX2-66 with 8 Meg of RAM, 200+ Meg hard drive, dual floppies,
- in a vertical case and with either the 128K or 256K RAM cache.
-
- Any comments from either ZEOS or from people on the net?
- Do you have a similar machine? HOw's it been so far.
- I have installed a similar machine as a network server
- for a customer, but since this is going to be MY machine for at
- least several years (3-4) I want to get the most bang for the buck.
- My current machine is a ZEOS 286-12 with 4 meg of RAM (upgraded
- from 1) and 2 40 meg drives (upgraded) from 1. Other than having
- to replace the power supply, this sucker had run great. However,
- it just can't seem to cope with my demands anymore. :-( But,
- it will continue to live on... just not as my primary machine.
- It is the reason I attest to ZEOS products though.
