Hello,

I have just gotten out of my A+ training class, and although I haven't gone
for my CERT yet, I may be able to help you...

>From what I have learned in school, (and also from an old IBM PS/1 486 that
I just trashed...) 486's can't go above 64MB of RAM.

My PS/1 stated this, but only had 2 one-sided SIMM slots (Could only use
chips that reside on ONE side of the SIMM Module).  I also tried
'overloading' the board with about 64-80MB of RAM once, and when I reloaded
WIN98, it kicked me out with one of two errors:

WIN.COM has caused a STACK FAULT DUMP at memory address: XXxxx:xxxXX

Windows PROTECTION ERROR Called from Line: XXXxxx:xxxXX

Note the X's were number-letter combo's which I can't remember or decipher,
but I have a clue that this means that 486's can't address more than 64MB
(at least not IBM's PS/1!)

Hope this helps!

Nick
