The 3000 can handle up to 2 meg of chip RAM and 16 meg of fast RAM on the motherboard, with no additional hardware. To get this much, you need to buy 1meg x 4 ZIPS, so I guess 32 total. You can also use cheaper 256k x 4 ZIPS, but then you can only get 4 meg on the mommaboard this way (still, plus 2 meg chip RAM...). >Thanks for the help. -- Ken Yarnall /// kenny%mazurka@opusc.csd.scarolina.EDU Math Department, USC \\\/// yarnall@usceast.cs.scarolina.EDU Columbia, S.C. 29208 \\\/ (803)777-5218 "I'm not good in groups.
