[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Need more memory for old Compaq 386/20

paine@fungus.dec.com (Willy Paine) (10/23/89)

I have 5 megB of memory in my old Compaq 386/20 which is no longer
making.  I would like to increase to 8 megB for X-windows (Xsight).
My dealer won't co-operate with me because he just want 
me to buy another computer.  I am told that it is better to use all 
system memory in one 32 bits slot card.   I am running Xenix 386 2.3.2 
(I am working on upgrading to Unix 3.2).  Can you please help me on 
locating dealer or distributor? 

It would be nice to include email address or fax number since I am
totally deaf.  

Thanks in advance,

Willy

p.s.  I am writing this for my own to use Xenix/computer at home, not
for my corporation.  Believe me that at work I am running DECwindow in
25 megB memory computer!

While the 386/20 is no longer being made, the memory modules
for the /20 are the same as those used in the 386/25, which
is still being made.  ANY Compaq dealer can sell you memory for
the /25, which is identical to the memory used in the /20.
The 4-Mb memory module for both the /20 and /25 is Compaq
part number 133132-001.
