WTB: GVP 4 MB ram modules
« on: March 19, 2009, 06:56:41 PM »
Hi,

I'm looking for some 4 MB GVP 64 pin ram modules, so I can bump my GVP 030 Combo card to 16 MB ram, instead of the 8 MB it has now.

I need 2 x 4 MB modules in working order.

I am aware that the ram is available at Softhut for 34.95 USD a piece, but I am hoping to find a couple of ram modules for less.

PM me if you have some.

I saw a couple of GVP modules for sale on EBay a couple of weeks ago for the bargain price of $30 each.


Compared to buying a brand new module for 35 USD, the small pricedifference makes it more reasonable to buy new instead of secondhand.

Your best bet might be to buy another accelerator in the $100 range that has the ram you need on it, and then after removing the ram you need resell it for close to or hopefully what you paid.


Tried that, only to find out that the card had a 1 MB module rather than a 4 MB module (I worked it out with the seller, so no hard feelings there).

Anyway, it means that I now have 2 boards, and I'm still not maxed out on any of them, hence the reason for this WTB thread; I'd rather just try to buy the modules instead of getting a third accelerator.
