For the SB32/AWE32s, it's cheap -- they take 30-pin SIMMs which can be
swiped off any old pre-72-pin-SIMM motherboard lying around or had at a
computer show for a couple bucks ($1-5).

But according to:

     http://www.edu.isy.liu.se/~d93johni/awefamily/awe_desc.html#d2

the AWE Value and AWE64/Gold, take a "Creative RAM upgrade".  'Creative
trying to get a cut in the memory upgrade business, so I'll bet these are
more expensive.  Certainly not as common and widely available, so it's a
safe bet.  Price is worth a check I guess.

Ok, will do.  I'll start it uploading over my 28.8K pixie straw. 8)
