PE> I rang up Acuma today, and they don't have the motherboard or the RAM
PE> in stock yet.  Actually, on the RAM front I did get a cryptic message
PE> about they have to shift their current stock before they can get the
PE> new RAM in.  Which is strange because I thought they didn't have any
PE> RAM in.  However, they said their supplier does have the RAM in.
PE> They reckoned it would take a week to shift their current stock.

That likely means they need to flog what they
have got to provide the cash to get the new stuff.

PE> Bloody hell, I thought Yum Cha was the same all over Sydney.
PE> You wouldn't believe the range of prices I have got.

Yeah, massive variations, particularly on stuff thats changing quickly. It can
depend on who fucked up buy buying too much at a particular time and so they
get stuck with having paid rather more than someone else who has just got some.

PE> As high as $495 for 70 nsec.  The lowest I got from someone
PE> was $255, from Todaytech. The lowest EDO I got was $363.

Yeah, particularly the EDO prices have a hell of a spread right now.

PE> Looks like Acuma isn't just a Yum Cha shop, it's King of Yum Cha.

PE> BTW, one of the shops in Computer Market
PE> was saying that EDO was 33% faster.

Thats crap. Tho some claim that.

PE> They were probably comparing it to 70ns RAM, making it 15% faster than 60ns

Unlikely. Just fucking it up.
