The 'problem' with the old GS Ram cards (just Ram - not Ram+) is that if
you plugged in the whole 1.5 meg you had interference with any DMA cards
in the GS.  There are only a couple GS DMA cards so this was not a big deal
if you knew it in advance - you just allocate a 500k ram disk and things
worked okay.

The new GS Ram cards are DMA compatible.

Note that existing card owners should call AE about the upgrade cost - there
is a cost, but I seem to remember that it was reasonable.  No real reason to
get it though if you dont intend on using DMA.
