But the number of internal HD's doesn't have anything to do with the memory bus loading. Have never given much thought to how much power memory consumes. Not having one of the systems I was "configuring" online, I don't know if they have a problem where the 2nd or 3rd HD consumes the space where the 3rd or 4th memory SIMM would go or now. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
