Hi All,
I want to upgrade the RAM on my Blizzard Accelerator 1230 IV but just want to make sure its compatible first. From what I have read you need EDO 72pin 5v 60ns ram right? I was considering the following: low profile: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121248065...84.m1423.l2649 normal: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130593572...84.m1423.l2649 Would they be supported? Any thoughts on 1 to go for or recommendations? I figured might as well go for 128 MB. Thanks. Last edited by doufas; 09 February 2014 at 17:09. Reason: had to include version |

Depends of the Blizzard version. The original accepts 64 MB; v.III 32 MB and v.IV 128 MB afair.

At least the second one seems to be OK.

As it's advertized as 4k, it's going to show just 64 MB on a Blizzard.

About to buy this 1 but just want to be sure first: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161120549...84.m1423.l2649 My current setup doesn't let the door close anyway really. Thinking about making a custom cover or placing a small fan underneath then raising the Amiga with something like this: http://www.focusattack.com/40mm-alum...feet-set-of-4/ Last edited by doufas; 11 February 2014 at 17:57. |

Blizzard cards can't handle 4k refresh rate RAM (which consumes less power) as intended and tend to show just half of the memory. I did once buy a couple of them but managed to sell them to a PC user. Often it's difficult to recognize the refresh rate of the SIMM, googling might help.
