[comp.sys.att] 3B2/500 memory and software upgrades

lees@briggs1.lbs.msu.edu (John Lees) (02/11/91)

We have two 3B2/500 systems, each with 8mb of memory. With more than
five or six users, they slow down considerably. Questions:

1.) How much memory can be added to a 3B2/500?

2.) Can anyone with experience comment on the performance of a 3B2/500
	with more than 8mb?

3.) Where can I get additional memroy for as close to free as is
	possible? (The machines were originally donated by AT&T, and
	we have no money for maintenance or upgrades.)

4.) We're running System V Release 3.1.1, with WIN networking software.
	There are a number of bugs in the networking stuff. What is the
	latest release of software for the 3B2?

Thanks!
