- Well, now I'm confused. I've heard "buy more mem" and also as Mario
- pointed out, "Get a better video card like Diamond Stealth or Orchid".
- I have a 486/33. Now I was under the impression that adding another 4 meg
- would have a much greater impact on (admitedly an already fast windows) than
- adding a new card.
- Can anyone give hints as to which would be better?
