The AT&T 6300 I have seen are 2 ways. One you can replace the memory on the mother board which is fine. and the other has 256K on the mother and you can't change that. The one that you can't you have 2 options. 1 buy an AT&T 6300 card that has the 2 connectors on (for the 16-bit bus) and have the 6300 run like a bat out of h**l or, buy a AST 6-Pack or something like that and have the PC run like an IBMPC when running in the the AST memory. I personally would buy the 16-bit card and have the speed rather than save money and have it slower. If you save and have a slower machine why not just buy a slower machine? brad #include
