Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By tres Wed Aug 04, 2010 10:56 am
I'm wondering if you guys know if computer stores sell the memory we use to upgrade the 2000XL. Instead of ordering online, I'd like to just go to CompUSA or Radio Shak for example and walk out with my memory. I know this type of memory is outdated and some places stopped carrying it, but I would at least try to call some stores. I'm not a big computer person, so I'm not sure how to even ask for it. I need to know what the proper name for it is, so that computer people can understand what I'm looking for.
As always, thanks in advance for any help.

CompUSA or RatShack will not have it in stock. You will have better luck calling a second-hand or local computer repair store in your town but they may not have it unless they have a bunch of old printers and/or PCs laying around.

You need 2 sticks of 16MB 72pin 60ns EDO SIMMS. 2 sticks will give you 32MB

The same memory is $3.59 plus shipping from eBay at this link below
