>> Is it true NT uses 20 megs of ram by itself alone? I have four 4 megs simms
know and am trying to save up for four 8's. Does this mean when I get 3DS MAX
and 32 megs that I'll only have 12 megs leftover for MAX? That would be less
than I had in dos.
Thanks!!
Jason
P.S. Does anyone know of anyways that I could sell or continue to use the 16
megs I have now, so I would only have to buy 16 megs more. <<
Simmsaver Technology (316.264.2244) makes various RAM towers that let you stack
simms to achieve higher densities. I don't know if they make any towers for
your needs. We just upgraded from 486's with 4MB-36pin simms to Pentiums with
72pin simm sockets and didn't have to through away our ram. (4)4MB simms in
one tower make a 16MB package. You can get right and left hand versions and
put two towers next to each other. You could then get two 16MB simms for your
other sockets. Skip the 8MB simms and go with a higher density setup. Most
mobos use their ram in pairs.
