- I just got off the phone with Mobius and here's what the sales droid said:
-
- They fixed the garbled sound.
-
- The board that includes extended memory option is $599.00
- (16mhz 030)
- Math coprocessor add $95.00
- Full page display add $499.00
-
- You need to populate the board with memory. It can take 1,2,4 meg simms for a
- total of 16megs real ram. They also give you virtual for even more memory.
-
- You have to by the 2meg simms from them if you want 8megs of ram.
- They cost $89.00 a piece. (I think you can get 4meg simms from chip mercant
- for that price.)
-
- Mother board memory becomes a ram disk.
-
- Californians add sales tax.
-
- Packge with monitor/coproc/8megs 1549.00
- Ca tax 127.79
- Shipping 10.00
- ----------------------------------------
- Total 1686.79
-
- That is quite a bit for a non colorQD mac. Maybe I should wait until oct.
- The add says it as fast as a ci. Thats questionable.
-
- Anybody else have any quotes for upgrading a SE?
