I plan to buy 16 additional megs for my 486-DLC50 (to make a total of 20) this monday. Preferably before I buy, I would like to know if there is going to be a problem with this. If there is, are the chances decent of this being supported any time soon? Or am I just "in the dust" on this one. I also plan to buy the following additional hardware.. suggestions/crit. would be appreciated. #9 GXE pro64 w/ 2megs vram Xpand to 4 (VLB) Buslogic VLB SCSI accelerator (245c or b) Supra Internal 28.8 (i plan to run the scsi along with my lame 16 bit IDE controller and my Elite 16 SMC card (irq10) ) Any problems with this setup? (namely the memory.. Ive heard the stories about it, but never fully got the gist of them.) Reply to this newsgroup plz, or email to garbled@primenet.com thank you
