sigh... It didn't cost me anything yet! Thats because I have not bought it
now :(
RAM and CPU prices have hiked like hell in the last week. The original offer
I got was for Rs.9000 (Thats for The Motherboard w/ onboard sound & video +
64MB SDRAM + AMD K6-2 500 Mhz processor and a suitable Cabinet. cool huh??
But not the same stuff would have cost me around Rs.13000!!! So I have
decided to delay the purchase till prices come down.
BTW I also need 64 MB EDO RAM (old 72-pin SIMM style) for my other system
but can't find it anywhere. If anybody has it available, please contact me
ASAP.
Cheerio!
