Is expandable to 16 Mb RAM supported on System Board 2. Uses standard SIMM's 3. If possible, it has more than eight slots for SIMM chips. 4. Costs about $3000(US) - With a 40 Mb drive, 3" or 5" drive, vga monitor & MS Windows I did some work looking at various PC magazines to find the best suited pc, but from the ads it was almost impossible to get clear information especially on points 1 & 3 above. Does anyone out there have some knowledge of a reliable 386 with the above features? You can email me directly - I'll summarize later on. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sender : Joe Galea Address : Computer Science Dept Email : joe@comp.vuw.ac.nz Victoria Unversity of Wellington Wellington New Zealand Phone : +64 (04) 721 000 x8543 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
