I think the only thing that one can really say about this kind of thing is "YMMV" (Your Mileage May Vary). Start with 16MB of memory or so and work up from there. Since the 72 pin memory is 32 bit, you at least have the luxury of not having to throw the old memory out every time you upgrade to a larger increment! :-) Truly though, there's no rule of thumb where such things are concerned. There are just too many variables involved. Start small and work your way up, would be my best suggestion! Jordan
