No quite
The L in question uses the same memory as the 760 C
Realy rare stuff and very $$$.
The 765 and 760XD/ XL /Ed /EL etc used more standard stuff that is easy to
get .
More than PC100 SCRAM for sure, but not insane .
check www.pricewatch.com
I've bought stuff from www.Kahlon.com and Coast to coast with OK results.
I'm seeing about $67 for 32MB .
16MB for the same box is $10 .
For reference the 760XL's version of 32MB is $11-$15!
