RB> I can sell you 16m 72pin 70ns Fast page for $320
RB> & 16m 72pin 70ns EDO for $345

PE> I think you mean 60ns EDO, don't you?
PE> I don't think there's such a thing as 70ns EDO.

The speed is quite separate from the type of ram, EDO in this case.

PE> Thanks for the pricing.  It's bloody annoying.  The EDO surcharge

PE> is only 7.8%, which is quite reasonable for an expected 10%
PE> performance increase.  The trouble is there are some people
PE> offering 60ns fast (page/gate?) for substantially less than that,
PE> but they are unable to provide EDO at a similar 7.8% increase.

PE> Just what sort of market is this RAM?  Hasn't anyone informed the
PE> dealers that RAM is RAM, it should be the same price everywhere? 

Or maybe the realise the real world is a tad more complicated than that.
