Eyetech RAM Prices - Will it affect your order cost ?

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.

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 ?

Why would they when they know full well the die hard Amiga users will pay silly prices for standard off the shelve components.

CDRW ATAPI mech 4xW,4xRW,24xR £54.95 (Eyetech)

F1 Yamaha 44x24x44 IDE with DiscT@2 £ 54.05 (Microdirect)

Just price compare and see how they make hugh amounts of money on real cheap hardware just because "It works on Amiga", so there is no way they are going to change.
