I would like to get some information about the following problem:

I have a 486er board with 16 MB Ram and ISA-Bus and win 3.1. What is going to
happen if i put 32 mb of ram on my board?

Some say, that it will cause serious problems with the isa-bus, or
some cards. Others say that the pc will slow down because of the isa-bus.
Others say nothing will happen. What is now true?

- Are there limitations of the amount of memory form the system with
  isa-bus

- Will the system realy slow down  

- Will win31 use the 32 mb memory

- Any other problems i do not think about yet

I would be very thankful for some information before i buy

Markus
