This type of post is just plain cruel. You're out to waste 80 more of
this guy's hard-earned dollars.
To the original poster: Don't listen to him, a tripler won't do you ANY
good! You need a RAM quadrupler. A RAM tripler with 8 megs of RAM will
only accentuate the inate INX buffering in the LRC address register
pipeline. With a RAM quadrupler, you'll get more memory deallocation
because of the LSP modulo being in synch with the resource resolution
table (RRT). The follow-up poster did tell you one good thing, though,
DO
take your memory in with you when you purchase the quadrupler.
