- No it won't, it does on the A1200. When you add 32 bit RAM to the A1200
- it speeds the system up by just over 100%, not so on the A600. It
- usually makes about 13% difference on that machine, coupled to the fact
- that the only way of adding fast RAM to the A600 is through the mega
- expensive PCMCIA slot, it's just not worth it.

- That may be worth it, but I doubt it, the cheapest bet would be to sell
- the A600 for as much as possible eg around 150UKP and find a second hand
- A1200, you can probably find one for about 200-250UKP with loads of
- extras etc.

- Rubbish, see above.
