I collect all old chips such as RAM/ROM/EPROM, also non-Intel Chips.
So I think that's a good idea - especially at this time those chips are much cheaper than all those well-known CPUs. |

So, this is what happens when you have collected all the CPU's there are.  Good to know if/when i reach that point! 
In my opinion CPU's and FPU's have more background, technology and just excitement in them. RAM/ROM etc.... i don't know  . It just does not fascinate me. I stick with CPU's and FPU's.

Just one of each type (2708, 2716, etc)
What are your thoughts on this? |
Not a bad idea. It may be worth to collect other vintage RAM/ROM chips too, or maybe even bubble memory. I'm not ready to seriously collect them as I'm not done yet with CPUs/FPUs/MCUs

Oh I'm never done.
I think If I do do it UI'll do just 80s and newer for now.
and will except donations froom other collectors.
It would be neat to make this a communitty EPROM collection.

I collect EPROMS  but mostly just the ones from the 1970s and early 1980s. When I first started collecting I bought several thousands of dollars worth of them. If you really wanted to collect them, I could really get you started. Just look at my trade list: http://www.vintagechiptrader.com/Intel/Trade%20List/Trade%20List.htm
I only have Intel chips though...
Good luck!
