There's lots more available. Evelyn [C] From: <mccann Date: Thu, 19 Sep 1996 17:49:51 -0400 FYI, I just bought a 16mb RAM module over the phone from Southland Micro <http://www.southlandmicro.com/>. The price was $128 plus $9.50 shipping (it's to be delivered Monday, so I can't speak to quality; others on this list say they work, though). Not bad, considering Southland was quoting $150 last week. Southland's number is 1-800-255-4200, and I spoke to Kay (who handles new accounts). The 16mb RAM part number is: SMC 16MB-AERO. They also sell 8mb and 4mb, I think. Best, Andy [C] From ("Sylvain Soulieres"), on 8/19/96 For those of you who are looking for a cheap 16 MB RAM upgrade module for their Compaq Aero, I just ordered one from "Southland Micro Systems". I should receive it by the end of the week... At that time, I will post a final status on the module... Note that their WEB site specified a price of U$ 215 for the module (P/N "SMC 16MB-AERO"), but I just talked to Nadia from sales (phone extension 160), and their current price is U$ 150 + shipping + insurance charges !!! Here are the coordinates : Vendor : Southland Micro Systems Location : Irvine, California 92618 Web site : www.southlandmicro.com Phone : (800) 255-4200 or (714) 380-1958 You should also note that they offer an unconditionnal lifetime warranty on their modules. [C] Sylvain had no problem with his memory from Southland, so I went and bought me 16 Mb for the same price. Works great! - Philip Wilk [C] From: <Paynecd Date: Sat, 13 Jul 1996 22:43:06 -0400 If anyone is looking for 16MB memory upgrades for their Aero, WorldWide Memory is selling a Transcend version for $205. I installed it and it works fine. Comes with a lifetime warranty. Phone number is 800-666-6117. They advertise in the back of Computer Shopper.
