Cirruslvr, re:<Were any FLOPPERMINE systems advertised?> Nada, not even a "coming soon" or a "call." However, the number of dealers selling PeeIII's with the 600B (133 MHz) chip increased from 1 to 2, a 100% increase! Petz

So, how does $1,065 for 128M of 800 MHz RDRAM grab you? Actually, that's the price for upgrading from 128M of 600 MHz RDRAM to 128M of 800 MHz RDRAM on the IBM Intellistation M Pro 733 MHz Workstation. For each 128M after that, it will cost you about $1000. For 128M of additional 600 MHz RDRAM its only about $800. To check it out for yourself, go to www9a.pc.ibm.com and click on the "Total Memory" box. Well, I guess its just because IBM really soaks their customers for additional memory, right? WRONG! Add additonal 128M SDRAM for the Aptiva S 700 MHz Athlon costs $245. www9b.pc.ibm.com Petz
