278178	2004-10-04 21:02:00	Use your Google :) www.memoryx.net	Terry Porritt (14)
278179	2004-10-04 21:20:00	Seriously, from what I can see, these routers need to use Cisco approved ram. But if the main memory in yours is 8MB then I dont think you would cause any harm by trying a 16MB stick of EDO, and see what happens. The flash rom is a different matter, but as I say there is quite a bit of info about ram upgrades using Google.	Terry Porritt (14)

278181	2004-10-05 01:29:00	You've got to remember that Cisco routers (1) don't run Windows, and (2)mostly don't use Intel processors. :D So they can work quite well without huge amounts of memory.	Graham L (2)
278182	2004-10-05 02:50:00	darn... about the RAM, the router only has about 8 megs total and upgrading would be overkill for me. ah well what does one expect for 20 bucks	bob_doe_nz (92)
278183	2004-10-05 03:14:00	I wouldn't mind one of those... got any sources I should know about? :p	Growly (6)
278184	2004-10-05 05:57:00	not really. i got it when The Ark Comp recyclers were having one of those clearance sales. I dont think they knew the value of it so sold it cheap to get rid of it. Well as they say.. One Mans Loss Is Another Mans Treasure :D	bob_doe_nz (92)
