Wanted 72 pin SIMM 128 MB RAM

Magix · 13 September 2008, 10:23

Hi fellas,

I am thinking of upgrading my Blizzard 1230 IV RAM up to 128 MB (32 MB at the moment). What you recommend to me?

What I found is here -photo- $29.95 (+Shipping $19.95). But I am not sure if it is compatible with my card (a Live Support Guy from there told me it is).

PS. I do not have Fast SCSI 2 DMA Controller. So, this one is not compatible.

Thanks in advance.

Any suggestion?

Finding a 128MB 72-pin SIMM for a 1230-IV is almost impossible. It has to be a low-profile SIMM otherwise the CPU gets in the way. From time to time, one appears on eBay, usually in the US. When buying a SIMM, make sure that the picture is of the actual item, not a stock photo, and try and judge whether it will fit. Even better, ask the seller to measure the dimensions for you.

Steve.

Or you can PM Effy (EAB member). He used to sell lots of 128MB ram a while ago
