Subject: Question - histoical info please...
He want to "upgrade" (DON'T ASK) the memory but has no idea what type it
could be.
Any clues?
"memory 64Mb syncDRAM"
This is either EDO or SDRAM (sounds more like SDRAM).
The 72 Pinn SIMMS prior to EDO were hard to match up just like the SDRAM
prior (PC66) to PC100 and PC133 were hard to match up.
Since these people know so much more than we A+ certified technicians with
experience they do not ask us to evaluate and appraise their computer and
its needs. If they do not know much about computers there are always several
people on every block who know all about computers they can consult with and
find out and then tell us what they want installed in theirs.
We know that Windows 98 finds memory above 64 MB almost useless, the same as
Windows Me finds memory above 128 MB almost useless and Windows XP does not
give you a feel of increase in speed when you go above 1024 MB of RAM. Heavy
graphics etc. are an exception to all of this. I have to charge $110.00 for
one 512 MB stick of PC100 or PC133 where PC3200 goes for no more than half
the price for the same amount of MB. Don't even think about EDO being cheap,
unless you luck up and get pulls.
If you charge them extra for your time to match up the upgrade components,
building a new computer can be actually cheaper than upgrading an old one
all the way.
