Good luck! I have a 486-33, as well. I had 8MB of memory when I first installed linux and X. It worked, but not real fast. An extra 4MB helped, but I would sure like more. My system uses 72 pin SIMMS, but it wants PARITY memory. I can occaisionally find non-parity memory in 72 pin SIMMS, but not parity memory. If anyone knows when I can get 1 - 4 16MB 72 pin PARITY SIMMS at a reasonable price (I'm currently unemployed) it would be greatly appreciated.
