No.  The UARTs use your basic, no-frills 16450.

Yes.  This is done through the Phoenix bios cmos setup.

Mine has 169, so it from what I hear, nix on the Pentium.


>Do both machines have a total of 4 simm sockets?


The 66V does have 4.  Don't know about the E.


>What is the cost of a single 16MB simm upgrade?


I think about $500.


>What is the ramdac & 2MB upgrade cost for the ATI Ultra Pro?


$125 + shipping.
