How much memory can you take the 3b1/7300 up to!?  I have a 512K motherboard,
one 2 meg board and added another IDENTICAL 2 meg board to the PC, BUT it
only recognizes 2.6Meg, can the unix pc NOT handle 4.5?  and if it can, why
would 2 of the same memory boards NOT work!?

I have just started getting into the 7300, like I have had it, but it has
been gathering dust for, oh 5 months, and now I am loading 3.51 on it (sigh
only the 20Meg hd at the moment) and would like to have MORE than 2.5Megs
in this thing....  I noticed in the EIA/RAM board manual (I have the manual
but NO board by the by, just memory on them thar boards, no RS232 ports)
that the biggest memory size it listed/gave a combination of memory boards
to reach that size was *4* Meg, is that the memory limit in the 3b1 or
do I have problem!?

E-Mail or post ANY and all info!!!!


Thanks!!!!
