I don't know Andy - I think as far as you 386 goes you really only have a choice between Parity or Non-parity Here's a place you can buy them for under $10 each
http://www.jdr.com/interact/item.asp?itemno=GR-30PIN I suggest the 4MB 70ns SIMM, 4MX8, non-parity. I've used them in several Tiwanese MBs with good results. -----Original Message----- From: ANDY [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, September 29, 2001 7:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SurvPC] buying more memory, how to? (fwd) okay Listers, I now know the OEM of my mobo; BIOSTAR!! now if only I could find the model number (: ... I went to the kingston site but they, under Biostar, only list a few "selected" systems, none of which contain an old 386 40mhz CPU and ISA bus (: crucial's site (www.crucial.com) seems to contain more models but I am just as much in the dark regarding which one is mine... I think that as with kingston, only the latest models are listed so does *anyone* have an idea on how to identify which very old Biostar model I have? and where memory upgrades can be obtained? I'm going to call crucial tommorrow to see if they have more complete documentation on their computer system and if they can identify what memory type is appropriate for my biostar board and where I can get it if not from them, given just the CPU:(386), speed:(40mhz) and bus:(ISA) as identifying information please wish me luck!
