What I've been suggesting to people wanting to upgrade their memory in 286 boards that only hold one meg is, don't. You can buy 386sx boards that hold 4 meg for as little as $350-$400. Your memory board for the 286 will cost about half that. So for another $200 or so, you can have yourself a 386sx that doesn't need a memory board. You'll get a faster machine, and of course a 386 processor which will allow you to do quite abit more with all that extended memory other than just ram disks and ram caches. Charles
