Motherboard is a unknown - 33 mhz 386 that holds 12 megs of SIMMS and 4 megs of DRAM - for a total of 16 megs. Right now I have 12 megs full - and would like 16 megs - but I honestly believe that I won't be able to address the additional memory. Prior to this motherboard, I tried another (it only supported 8 megs of RAM) - and this one appears to be 5-7% faster. Computone's drivers are being rewritten by a third party - so hopefully they will work sometime in the near future at an address below 1 MEG. If so, then I should have no problems installing another 4 megs in this machine. Are you running X11R3 or R4? R4 is leaner on system resources - and from information I've gathered is much faster handling video IO. -- Larry Snyder, NSTAR Public Access Unix 219-289-0282 (HST/PEP/V.32/v.42bis) regional UUCP mapping coordinator {larry@nstar.rn.com, ..!uunet!nstar!larry, larry%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu}
