Ultra-Comp uses the same Micronics motherboard as Gateway. It holds 4 MEG on board with an additional 12 MEG on an optional card. This gives 16 MEG total. I believe 16 MEG is the minumum for Micronics 386 and 486 motherboards. You might have been thinking of just the proprietary 12 MEG RAM card. Stephen M.
