Dave, I have used Memorystock.com to source memory for a few old computers here. The memory I have received has JUST worked - nothing but great. I find (at 71) my wetram doesn't seem to work quite like it used to. It still seems just as capable as ever but slower. 😀 My keyboard is not as sharp either, but that may not be all the keyboard's fault. An upgrade would be appreciated. Your project seems like fun. I enjoy following your posts.
Have fun, Stuart On Wed, Apr 2, 2025 at 4:56 PM Gregg Eshelman via Emc-users < emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > The 440BX "Seattle" chipset supports up to 768 megs RAM, up to 3 DIMMs. > You said you have 320.
