--According to a gateway rep:----

>Local Bus PC's use 36-bit SIMMS and cannot use regular SIMMS.  However, you
>can put a single 4MB SIMM into the Local Bus systems, so you may want to
>order your PC's with only 4MB versus 8MB if you don't feel you need 8.

-----------------------

Are these 36 bit simms more expensive than regular simms?

If the local bus can accept a "single 4mb simm", what does this imply for
my memory upgrade options in the future?
