In case you missed it, it's a little module which plugs into the motherboard and which the CPU on an AT or higher plugs into, allowing > 640K for DOS, converting extended to expanded memory, etc. by remapping the RAM in your machine. The one hesitation I have about buying it is a possible speed degradation. What exactly is the performance penatly for interposing more address-decoding logic between the CPU and the memory? Is there anyone out there who has used this product and can relate their experience? -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Carson T.
