Generally, the Ramworks card is better than the stock 64k/80 col card. It sounds like the card you have has a bank of 256k chips (8 chips total 256k) and a bank of 64k chips (8 chips equal 64k). The 2 connectors are for plugging in piggyback cards, I believe. There was an additional 512k card that could be added and ran parallel to the length of the card. I believe that the piggyback card used both connectors. I'm trying to remember, but I think I have a RamWorks II card in storage I can look at this weekend.
