Tekk Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I’d like to sign up for a 128mb set - trying to get a modern Linux kernel running on my IIfx and more RAM would make it easier! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrFahrenheit Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 For anyone interested in these I thought I would post my opinions of the 128MB kit I received. Overall, the fit and finish and quality is superb. I literally felt like I was holding and looking at a professionally manufactured product made in a factory. I would never have guessed these were made by hand. I put them into my first IIfx (which was made in the first batch of released IIfx and is serial number 181) and they snapped in perfectly just like my OEM ram. Could not feel any difference. My IIfx booted up with zero issues. RAM test takes forever so if you’re not used to that just sit and wait for the black screen for around 30-45 seconds. I didn’t count but it feels like an eternity. Booted up just fine and ran RAMoMeter RAM test once and it tested positive. Ran Speedometer and some operations were slightly faster. I also ran Norton Speed Test and everything checks out. Will be running RAMoMeter for a continuous test for a few hours just to be certain but my initial thoughts are: WOW!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It seems most ram out there has a speed of -8 while these are -6, so that should help even if a little. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tt Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 @hyperneogeo I'm down for 2 sets of 4 if you still have some available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperneogeo Posted July 26 Author Report Share Posted July 26 Ok so there does seem to be a lot more interest, so I might do another run of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OSX2000 Posted July 26 Report Share Posted July 26 I'll take a set of 4 modules if they aren't gone yet. I've been looking everywhere for this weird RAM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ajaxermd Posted July 27 Report Share Posted July 27 I'd love to get a full set of 128MB. My FX isn't working, but I think this will be the motivation I need. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperneogeo Posted July 27 Author Report Share Posted July 27 Alrighty, I'm going to do another run. I should have everything in about 2-3 weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posted a screenshot on Reddit of my IIfx running with 128MB of RAM and had several people ask where I got that much RAM. I pointed them to this forum thread. I hope that’s okay.

cofford Posted July 28 Report Share Posted July 28 Please put me down for a set of 8. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperneogeo Posted July 28 Author Report Share Posted July 28 Ok, I'll make a note of the people that want ram. It will be 2-3 weeks for the second run. If anyone else wants ram just put down your interest here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fred30w Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 I just got my order in today and the RAM works great! Thank you @hyperneogeo for making these and shipping them out so quickly! The green SIMM in the pictures below is a stock 1MB for comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LaPorta Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 I guess I should get in while I can...how much for 64 MB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hyperneogeo Posted July 30 Author Report Share Posted July 30 64MB is $100 + $9 ship in the US or $36 international, both via Priority. 128MB is $200 + $9 ship in the US or $36 international, both via Priority. I'm staying away from first class shipping at this point in time. I will have the next run done in a few weeks. I've already sent in the order/parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tt Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Yeah, for those amounts Priority makes more sense. Looks like I got the last of the current batch. It's cool to see Doug's name of the SIMMs, miss that dude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MrFahrenheit Posted August 1 Report Share Posted August 1 I wish I could buy 8 more, but sadly due to Covid restrictions being expanded, I can’t even get my packages from the post office anymore. If I do I’d have to quarantine for 14 days. Doesn’t make any sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't reside in the US but I have a US mailing address. I was told on Friday that any personal activities while inside the US will result in a mandatory 14 day full quarantine. That includes simply checking my mail. It's really, really dumb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
