OT, but info needed: RAM uprade

<don't know why Intel's 'low cost' processors are always so bone headed: <486SX, which removed the one true thing that made it a 486, 8088, removing <the crucial 16-bit bus of the 8086, 386SX, which worked pretty well, but <still halfed the external bandwidth (did Intel ever make a cheap version o <a 286?), and now we've got Celeron: Until the Celron A, no cache at all... This show a fundemental lack of knowledge about Intel CPUs and their busses. 8088 actually runs for the same clock about 20% slower than the 8086 but using significantly fewer glue chips. The 386sx is a lower pin count 386 that uses a 16 bit bus insted of the 32bit again for lower cost and lower power. Bus bandwith was not half as it is faster than that. Celeron, PII with big internal cache. I just powered up a celeron 333mhz with 128k internal cache and it's remarkably fast(and cheap). 286 never saw a 288 version. ISA and EISA bus machines are slow as the BUS speeds are limited to ~8mhz. This is where many older machines hit the speed wall. PCI and other extended busses are faster (to the limits of the cpu level bus). Allison
