- The only way to get to 32 Meg on a Classic or LX is to buy two 16Meg SIMMS and remove
- the installed 4Meg SIMMs. Anyway some folks suggested that "Chips for
- Less" (214-250-0009) would sell 16Meg SIMMs (4Mx33bit @60ns) for $560. I haven't
- verified this. Could someone positively confirm (ie. you actually installed such
- memory) that these SIMM specs (4Mx33bit @60ns) are correct for an LX? The price
- difference between this $1100/32Meg and Sun's list price of $3000/32Meg is so large
- as to make me suspicious. Surely even Sun wouldn't charge such a premium on
- memory unless there was something extra special about their chips...or would they :?)
