From: Joe Roebuck, U.S. Sales Cheryl Vedoe, WSD Marketing Ellen Kokos, ECD Marketing The industrywide 1Mb DRAM shortage appears to be finally showing signs of abating! Sun is now in a position this quarter to compete aggressively in providing cost effective memory solutions to our customers. Availability of 1Mb SIMM memory is excellent at this time and has given us the flexibility to develop an attractive Q3 program to help sell more systems and to compete effectively against 3rd party memory providers. To that effect, we are pleased to announce a special Q3 program designed to sell more desktop systems and add-on memory. Program Details : ---------------- o All customers who book 3/60 or 386i systems with greater than 4MB of memory (eg; 8, 12, 16, 20 or 24) will be offered a special price of $1,500 (non-discountable) for each 4MB memory increment beyond the initial 4MB included in the base system (up to a total of 24MB for the 3/60 and 16MB for the 386i). This will encourage sales of 3/60's and 386i's with more memory. o In addition to the memory pricing incentive for systems, add-on memory for 3/60 and 386i systems will be offered at a special price of $6,000 (non-discountable) for 16MB increments; offering an attractive price for the installed base. Customers can either install this memory in a single system or break it down into 4MB increments to be installed in multiple systems. Terms and Conditions : ---------------------- o This is a special Q3 program only for business booked by March 31, 1989, for immediate delivery. o The program is effective immediately. o This program applies to 3/60 and 386i systems only. o This offer will be extended to the backlog as follows: An additional 4MB of memory will be shipped with all 3/60 and 386i systems in the backlog ordered with 8MB memory or more and scheduled for Q3 delivery. Customers with 4MB 3/60 and 386i systems in the backlog for Q3 delivery will have the option of changing that to 8MB or greater for an additional $1,500 for each 4MB increment. Customers with 3/60 and 386i systems scheduled for Q4 delivery have the option of requesting Q3 delivery to take advantage of this program. Ordering Information: --------------------- o You will need to make a minor change in the way 3/60 and 386i systems are currently ordered. To book 3/60 configurations larger than 4MB simply order the 3/60 as a 4MB system and then add (1) each of the following product for each additional 4MB desired; > X1500S - 4MB 3/60 Special System Upgrade $1,500 To book 386i configurations larger than 4MB order the 386i as a 4MB system and then add the following products based on desired memory configuration; > RR1500D - 4MB 386i Special System Upgrade $1,500 > RR1500C - 4MB RR150X/RR250 Special System Upgrade $1,500 o To order the 16MB add-on memory product specify the following product number (DO NOT order the current X116C). > X6000S - 16MB 3/60 "bag o' memory" Special $6,000 > RR6000D - 16MB RR150 "bag o' memory" Special $6,000 > RR6000C - 16MB RR150X/RR250 "bag o' memory" Special $6,000 NOTE : RR6000D contaims SIMM modules only.
