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 :-)
