- I'm gonna get a NeXT. But I'm surprised of the list prices:
- NeXTstation turbo 16MB,250MB is 1000$ more expensive than
- the same with 8MB !
- I know that turbo versions (like the color one) have interleaved memory.
- But does it limit memory expension ?
- Or can I buy a 8MB version and add 8MB for a bit more than 200$ (or have I got
- to remove the 8MB and put 16MB instead what would still be 2 times less
- expensive than list prices (500$ instead of 1000$)) ? what kind of simms
- do I need (60ns, special size like Macs, or..) ?
-
- Second, same question for HD: is it easy to add a second HD, do I have
- to pay something to get the extended version (that I need) when I payed
- a NeXT with standard version OS ?
-
- I'm sure it is a FAQ but I can't find any FAQ list on this newsgroup (is
- there any, where?)
