Anyone, Yesterday we ordered a Micron 90 MHz Pentium w/32 Meg RAM & a 2 Gig SCSI & Other stuff. Today I called Micron Tech support to ask how the SCSI would be partitioned with DOS & some other questions & I think I heard the following: 1. With SCSI, you don't have the normal IDE limitations – the drive can be one big blob of 2 Gig and the max DOS recognizes is 4 Gig. So the SCSI won't be partitioned into several logical drives like an IDE would. 2. The system we ordered has 6 slots for RAM SIMMS. The only limitation is that SIMMS on the same bank have to be the same. For example, they will install 2-16 Meg SIMMS on the initial system we bought, but there are 4 slots still available so I could install 2-32 MEG SIMMS on the next bank of 2 slots & 2 other size SIMMS on the last 2 free slots, up to the motherboard limits. In other words, all my SIMMS don't have to be 16 Meg. WOOOOH. Does anyone know if this is true (I've dealt only with IDE stuff & any new advances with the RAM slot situation I haven't heard about-I deal w/dull business machines at work). If 1 & 2 are true, then God exists, good will ultimately triumph, there really is motherhood & apple pie, and Frodo lives. Thanks in advance for any info P.S. To Gary Yost: So you thought keeping him in HW/SW was cute? You try it.
