Thanks for all the info' Erik. As I understand your reply, there are 2 Megs of "basic" RAM on the motherboard, and one of the four SIMM slots occupied by a 4 Meg 32 bit SIMM. That leaves 3 empty SIMM slots for us to pour money into ? Right? Can I add just ONE 4 Meg 32 bit SIMM … if I want to? Or do I somehow have to fill all the empty slots ? When the great day comes when I can afford the 4000 – and it arrives (Oh! Happy day), I will of course pop in the new Toaster. It seems to like about 10 Megs of RAM, so as a first outlay I will just need ONE additional 4 Meg SIMM. At $139 for 4 Megs of 32 bit RAM is not too bad. As I hoodwink and cheat more video clients, I will be able to add more. Incidently, understand the 4000 comes with a IDE type hard drive. Is there any reason why I cannot transfer my GVP SCSI card/drive to the 4000 ? All the best – and thanks, HILARY.
