Re: [cobalt-users] [Qube2] Memory upgrades and testing.

["Derek Serianni" <dereks@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I just upgraded my Cube to 256MB of ram and bought it from: 
http://www.ramjet.com

They seemed to be the cheapest and everything arrived very quickly and 
it all worked perfectly.

Believe it or not but 128MB sticks are actually cheaper than the 
smaller ones.... Couldn't resist but to buy two.

I paid about $60.00 each for a 128MB stick.


Hope this helps.


Derek
