Are they expandable? I don't really think that there is a way that anyone can say with certainty which compatible is really the best. There are alot out there that are just as reliable as one another. I'm sure that if you ask about specific names, people on the net would be more than willing to contribute their experiences. As for the Packard-Bell, my friend has a 486sx-20. It seems just fine. He hjasn't had any problems, so I really couldn't tell you about user support. The only thing I would caution about is the choice of monitor it comes with. His really sucks. I don't know offhand what model it is, but the dpi is probably around .39 or .51. My no-name monitor is much crisper than his.(Anyone heard of 'ACE" not Acer?). -Rick
