Eyetech RAM Prices - Will it affect your order cost ?

The latest BIOS update 'cures' previous restrictions that required certain RAM to be used if more than one slot was used. This means that the RAM can be bought just about anywhere.
The smart money is on getting quality brand name RAM rather thay OEM garbage. Stick with Kingston/Crucial/Samsung and you shouldn't go too far wrong.
Hopefully Rose or Olegil can give a few more specific details.

If you read the Register yesterday, you would have seen the story about Amazon and the sub $10 Ipaq (see here ).
The crux of the matter is, that unless they have already charged your card, the price is not fixed and therefor is volatile. I would expect Eyetech to contact the Earlybird buyers to confirm their order before despatch, giving buyers a chance to change their order.

Must get round to subscribing to Total Amiga

Likewise. I've sent off for the current edition and I'll subscribe at the end of the month. I wonder how many subscribers they have?

For Alans sake, it would be good if the deliveries were to start next week. At least then he will be able to announce this at the Gotenburg show next week.

Right. Hopefully this will put things to rest.
The AmigaOne  [color=0000FF]did[/color][/u] need to use 'Registered' RAM.
So, the £68 + VAT one is the one Eyetech is selling.
Now, since the BIOS update for the XE now allows for everyday PC133 RAM, where you buy it from is no longer an issue.
ebuyer are a big company and buy memory in huge amounts. Eyetech are not going to place an order anywhere the size of one that ebuyer would (check one the quantities of other Kingston modules, one of them they have over 200 in stock). Therefore expect Eyetech WILL pay more for them.
