yes but these days price different between 1200 RAM cards and SRAM isn't much, so it's better to go for the RAM card if he can find a cheapish one.

Great!  I paid about $45 for the PCMCIA 2M SRAM card I have now.
Where can I get this 1200 Fast RAM card you are aware of for about that price?  :confused:  :)

It seems to me that 1200 RAM cards are selling for around/over $100.
Is fast RAM much better?  Of course.
But, if you don't have the money/time, a 2M PCMCIA SRAM card will work in the 1200 for playing whdload games (I know, I'm doing it).

I will eventually get a 1200 FAST RAM card, but in the mean time, this does work, and it works pretty good.  Cammy's numbers show a small decrease, but nothing noticeable (to me).

Normal price is around £74, but may vary.
£74 = $112.72 USD
Then there's shipping to the U.S. for us.
Apparently, 1200 memory/CPU expansions were more popular elsewhere..
