Greetings,

  The responses I've received all indicate that without 32-bit addressing on,
the Mac can only use 8 of the installed Megs of memory as RAM.  The rest can
be utilized, however, if you use ramdisk software.  Also, you can run virtual
memory, which can give you up to 13Mb of apparent RAM (depending on the number
of cards you have installed.

  Thanks for the responses!
