But Bruce, you only have one card installed, a combo card with no memory
on it.  I have a combo card with 1.5 meg, voice card and tape drive.  You'd
be surprised how much of a load those cards can add to the machine, especially
the voice card.  Let's see what happens when you add the 1.5 meg of ram on 
the combo card (you have an extra power supply right :-).
