in article <25126@cup.portal.com>, Bob_BobR_Retelle@cup.portal.com says: > > Consider that the *cheapest* IBM clone board comes *socketed* for easy memory > expansion to the maximum RAM the system can utilize... However, the *cheapest* IBM clone still only knows about 640K of memory max (8086 based here). Without an *EXPENSIVE* memory board in one of the card slots and some driver software 640K is all you'll ever get to use. Of course even on a 80286 computer w/ say 10Megs of RAM MS-DOS still sees only 640K (we tested one under windows once for memory use)... Dan
