- Ditto here. I originally bought 8 1Mx9 80ns SIMMs for my IPC, because I
- thought it had 16 sockets. When I got it, I was suprised to find it had
- only 12! Blewp! So, I ordered 4 4Mx9 80ns SIMMs from I.C. Express
- (They're down to around $125 or so now). 24M beats the heck outa 12M,
- especially when running Interleaf on OW 3.0.
-
- I've already put in for 8 more 4M SIMMs...
-
- (Hey, if 24 is good, 48 is better!)
