This type of post is just plain cruel.  You're out to waste 80 more of
this guy's hard-earned dollars.

To the original poster:  Don't listen to him, a tripler won't do you ANY
good!  You need a RAM quadrupler.  A RAM tripler with 8 megs of RAM will
only accentuate the inate INX buffering in the LRC address register
pipeline.  With a RAM quadrupler, you'll get more memory deallocation
because of the LSP modulo being in synch with the resource resolution
table (RRT).  The follow-up poster did tell you one good thing, though,
DO
take your memory in with you when you purchase the quadrupler.
