Additional memory arrays are silently ignored. I use to have a combo board with 1 meg on it and 512 ram board both installed, and all the memory was recognized (512 on motherboard + 512 + 1 meg = 2 meg total). I eventually fully populated the combo board with 1.5 meg. At that point the PC still only recognized 2 meg even with my 512 ram board, so I gave the ram board to someone else. I don't pretend to understand the memory expansion, but that was my experience with it. -- Steve Spearman {ihnp4,ethos}!ihop3!spear Voice: (312) 979-4181
