Ok so I have a Shuttle P5 with the TX chip set and a K6-200.  I'm running
NT4.0.
I currently have 2 ultra ide drives and 64mb edo simms. I was getting ready
to order 2 10ns 64mb DIMMS. I'm looking for a improvement in Photo Shop
performance and less swap file utilization. Can someone expand a bit on
this 64mb max thing. Am I stuck with 64 unless I get a new board?
