Obadiah64 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am needing to replace a couple of damaged DRAM chips in a 800XL. I found these on Ebay for a good price. $12 USD (shipping included) for a set of 20. From what I can find, these should work. Does anybody have an opinion on these chips or any advise on what chips should work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrbrevin Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 that is a good price for 20 they are 150ns, anything ove 100ns is supposed to be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I had already ordered them before I made the original post. I was getting worried that I had purchased a batch of useless chips due to the low price. Compared to the others being offered on eBay these seemed to be a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Supposedly the maximum latency A8 can use is 250 ns. But generally the bulk of the 5V DRams that suit the XL/XE will be under 200 anyway. The vital thing is to not buy MT branded chips - though I can't say I've ever seen them being sold.
