Eyetech RAM Prices - Will it affect your order cost ?

[JurassicCamper]

I changed my A1 order back with eyetech in January and added some RAM to it. IIRC when I ordered the 2 x 512Meg Sticks they were either £75 or £80 including the VAT each

Just been back to Eyetechs website and the RAM is now £94.95 including VAT

Can anyone confirm how much they were listed at a few months ago. I've tried Web archive but nothing there.

As they have taken no money which price do they have to honour ?

I wonder how many Earlybird orderers who have order RAM at the same time and may get stung by this.

Just found what i wrote down when i order my Ram.
They were £79.95 including Vat, so they have put them up by 15%. Just hope they dont sting me the 15% on each stick.

I ordered an A1XE starter system which was originally specified with 128MB ram. I ordered 512MB ram at extra cost, but the specification has now been changed to include 512MB in the original price. The hard drive is now also 40MB instead of 30MB See Eyetech advert in the latest issue of 'Total Amiga' for the full spec.

Must get round to subscribing to Total Amiga

PS: they are currently awaiting delivery of the XE boards,

Does that mean the little man is waiting at the delivery door for the truck to turn up, or does that mean sometime in the next 6 months.

Obviously the Expectations from this post are wrong again.

whence they will be tested at Eyetech (I got the impression (so take this only as such) that they had passed the manufacturers testing).

I should hope so unlike Commodores Factory Testing

Website updates are also on the list of things to do ! (as urgently as time allows !)

Managed to updates the prices though.

Be Interesting to know which Kingston module Eyetech are selling for £80 +Vat as there are at least 3 different Kingston  ECC 512Meg PC133 modules available from £61 to £68 + Vat at ebuyer.co.uk

Not as if Amiga Dealers can use the "oh they buy hundreds." Just look at their stock levels.

Savings of £22 per module.

I expect if you shop round you'll find it cheaper still.

Yes Yes Yes we all know about the new version of u-boot.
Its just more tolerant to **SOME** Unregistered 133 Ram.

But if Eyetech are so confident that the board will work without ECC RAM why arnt they offering
it ?
