do you ever max out your 6GB RAM?




Speaking of maxing out RAM

about 12 years ago someone who was getting rid of junk gave me an ISA,
RAM extension board. I put it in my Zenith Data Systems 286 and got 16
megs of RAM recognized. The max amount a 286 can address!


At the time the machine was made 16 megs of RAM would have been
(almost) an impossibility and probably cost over $50,000

The RAM was probably bigger than the biggest disk drive
at the time :-)

The machine came with 512k of on-board RAM. it was all discrete memory
chips . I'd have to look at it...but they were probably 10k or 20 k each
