Excuse me Eddy, but you are confusing the issue. Neither the SCSI
controller, nor the video controller are ISA cards here. And neither
are old.

ET>I've 128 MB RAM and my Netscape v4.04 loads in 7 seconds (I timed
ET>it).

Bragging, bragging, I didn't find it necessary to specify the CPU nor
MHz because I saw this as relative measurements.

In case you want to know, this BBS machine runs on an AMD 486DX2/80.
For a BBS that is all that is needed. The only reason to up the RAM
was to load Navigator and other programs a bit faster.

OTOH my work machine runs on an AMD K6-III 400MHz and I'm not
complaining about the speed on that. That's my part of bragging.

Nor did I actually complain about the speed of this BBS machine.
I just told what happened when I increased RAM 16 to 32 Mb.

Have a nice day,

Holger
