The original AT's use piggy-backed 128Kbit drams modules (for 256K bit/module). These 
chips are not pin compatable with standard 256K bit drams. The easyist way to upgrade 
either a 256K or 512K AT is with any noumer of 3rd party memmory boards. I use an AST
Advantage board, and others here use the AST Rampage board.
