[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Extended/expanded memory on a 286 machine

jmann@bigbootay.sw.stratus.com (Jim Mann) (05/30/90)

I have a 286 machine with a Meg of memory. I want to add more memory.
Since the motherboard only holds a Meg, I have to buy an expansion card.
I've noticed that ATI has two memory expansion cards for the 286:
SixPack and RAMPage.  What is the difference between the two (other than
price)?  The SixPack card is much cheaper?  Is there any reason NOT
to buy it?  

Are there any other memory cards I should look at?

(PS: If it matters in this case, I want the extra memory mostly to better
run Windows.  I want to add about a Meg or so.  I have no reason to
believe I'll ever want to go over 2-3 Meg on this machine. By the time
I need more, I'll be buying a newer machine.)

Thanks for any info any of you can provide.

Jim
