If you are buying the 64MB RAM chip, I would suggest going to www.OtherWorldComputing.com or to www.ramSeeker.com and buying 128MB It is only a little more $ to get the 128.
According to some folks, it does not matter if the ram is EDO or FPM, nor does it matter if they are mixed, again, according to some folks. It is ok to get the 4k 128MB ram. (I have several in my machines.) $25 is the cost (approximately) from other world computing. (For the 128.) >>Linda wrote: >>>I've got an 8500.
