[iyonix-support] Re: Cheap 1 GB memory on Ebay ...

Hi
there is only 1 'geometry' of 1gb ram that will fully work in the iyonix .. this is a limitation of the cpu chip itself .. what you see suggests that your sticks are not built with this sort of chip. Sorry.. at this moment I cannot remember the precise details, and am nt near the details.

Good evening.

I've just received what should be 1 GB memory modules for my 2 Iyonixes.
I ordered them from Ebay, I couldn't resist... 17 euros each.

But well it does not work : RISC OS tells me it sees 512 MB... no more.
Quite surprisingly, if you read the advert, it says : 1 GB, not 2x512MB.
To me, it meant the module would be populated (is it correct English ?) with 
memory components only on one side, but in fact the memory modules received
are populated on both sides.
There is a metalic cache covering both sides (very strange for a low 266 Mh frequency), and it's held in place thanks to 2 metalic clips, which I had to remove, 'press', put back in place, so that they really fulfill their task correctly (they were loose). 

And guess what, the funny part is for the end :
when I run Firefox I have the feeling it behaves faster : scrolling page,
displaying images ... funny brain is the human brain, no ?

For a returnable deposit of £199.75 I specialise in helping people set
up their own business in their spare time.

Imagine having your own utilities business - that’s gas, electricity,
telephones and the internet:

These are major expenses for every home and business in the country.

There is no stock to buy, nothing to invoice or deliver and no money to
handle.

All you do is guarantee to save people money and help them fill in a
simple one page form, or they can use the internet.

After that, every time they pay their bills, you get about 5%.

If you can spare a couple of hours a week, I will guarantee your success.

       Interested?
