>RAM expansion. Memory expansion is quite risky though.
I took some time to map out the areas of memory the BB places its memory
in. I think I'd be safer just taking the BB out and putting the memory in
the GVP. It might also do wawy with the GURU errors I've been getting
(8000 0003-B – corrupt memory, I think)
If I want to expand to what the BaseBoard has (4 meg) it requires 4 1-Meg
SIMMS. If I want to go further (8 Megs) it takes 2 4-Meg SIMMS. I've been
going to local computer stores comparing prices, and the lowest price I've
gotten is $55 (CDN) for one 1-Meg SIMM – making a 4-meg expansion total
$220. Add a total of 15% taxes, it adds up to $253. (Not $300, but close)
If I want to go to 8 Megs, well, I think they're around $150 each up here.
