memory for the 486, again

[jtnelson at bbnplanet.com (Jason Nelson)]

Seth,

I upgraded my old 486 with a KMD upgrade CPU and four 4meg SIMMS for about
$140, I wish now I had just build a new system from scratch.  You can build
a low end system for under $200  (especially if you use your same hard
drive, Cd ROM drive, floppy, etc).  Not to mention 66Mhz bus speed instead
of 33Mhz on old  AT motherboards,  200+ Mhz CPU etc. etc.)

Check out these sites before you spend money on pricy 30pin SIMMS (pricy
because they are not mass manufatured anymore).
