I looked at these online today. The Sun RAM
and hard drives are outrageously expensive! However,...
---- re: RAM ---
Under FAQs, it says:
2. Is this memory
proprietary?
No. The memory used in the Sun Blade 100 is industry standard. 3. Why buy Sun
memory?
This family of memory products are priced competitively and are tested, approved and qualified by Sun. Elsewhere it says: "168-pin JEDEC DRAM with error
correction."
So, I appears that it will take decent non-SUN
RAM. I would certainly argue with the statement that Sun RAM is "priced
competitively"! Check out www.crucial.com - on
the front page it says:
"256MB upgrade for Sun Blade 100 Workstation
$70.19 "
(128MB and 512MB modules are also available.)
Sun wants about $300! Crucial's web price is even lower -
$63.89!
--- re: second EIDE disk ---
Hmmm... For about $300, the same price as
Sun's 15 GB disk, one can get a retail
IBM 75GB EIDE Ultra ATA/100 LP Deskstar 7200
RPM 75GXP. Will it work in the Blade 100?
--- re: other ---
I'm not sure whether the Sun 17" or 21" monitors
are decently priced, but the resolutions and refresh rates are certainly not
spectacular. The SCSI card doesn't seem like a bargain and the video cards
are certainly not. So,...
Has anyone tried a third-party SCSI
controller? A third party PCI video card? Third party
monitor?
