Just wondering how much interest there is for N64 4mb RDRAM?

[lucidPerspective]

I've talked to some suppliers in China and I can get 300 NINTENDO 4mb RDRAM36-NUS chips at $1.65USD a piece + $30USD postage.

In case people read this without knowing why anyone would want these chips.. you can use them to replace the 2mb memory chips on the pre-2000 N64 boards. This act's as a built in expansion pack. So if you swap the chips for 4mb ones, and then cut up your jumper pack and wire the components straight to the pins of the jumper slot you can have an expansion pak board without it being any higher than the original N64 board + the jumper pack is flush with the board too = super tiny N64p

I'm just wanting to get a rough idea how much interest there is around here and if it would be worth getting these chips. There will be a slight markup to make it worth the investment, but nothing too extreme.

Anyway, post in this thread with your interest (if there is any)


Cheapest price I've found without quantity minimum's is $2.50USD + excessive postage cost ..so my prices will be:

1 - 10: $2.20USD/each + normal postage cost
11 - 50: $2.00USD/each + normal postage cost

Postage will be $7.50USD to anywhere in the world (to be confirmed.. but definitely less than $10USD)

Sound fair? if you don't think so, let me know what you think would be a fair price and we'll see


Current Interest: 57/300
Worthwhile-Ness: 22.8%

I'd take 10 plus postage to Australia

[lucidPerspective]

Yay! interest

I added prices that I think are fair to myself and buyers alike

[blaze3927]

+1
(same for me pls)

[tsukasa]

[Link83]

If possible I would like to take 8 with shipping to the UK

[Diminuendo]

well, regarding I get a free one now make my order an eleven

btw post a link on modretro and you might get a little more interest

[lucidPerspective]

haha, fair call Diminuendo

I'm not registered on Modretro.. would you mind putting a link to this thread up over there?

[Diminuendo]

done

[lucidPerspective]

Thanks for that

[Basement_Modder]

I'll take 6.

[Diminuendo]

mako321 has expressed interest in 2
Bino Gas has express interst in 4

nither have comitted to a buy though

[lucidPerspective]

Assuming from modretro forums? all good about non-commitment, I'm just trying to get a rough idea how much I'd be able to get rid of if I was to buy 300. The current worthwhile-ness percentage is based off me being able to sell 250 of them I figure with the remainder I could make and sell N64 Expansion Capable Boards or something

nither have comitted to a buy though

I haven't, at least. PM palmertech about these, he might want to stock up for the MR store that's going up.

[lucidPerspective]

Okay, it looks as though 300 is too high a goal to reach. palmertech expressed a possible interest of 50-100 pieces. but that would still only be halfway there..

I've been able to negotiate a similar price but at a lower quantity minimum (100 pieces) for NEC brand RDRAM36-NUS chips. Does anyone know if these will also be fine to replace the ram on the N64 board with? I'm guessing they will be, but I'm just wondering if it could be confirmed before I jump out and buy a million of them
