        It's a 2635-5EU. It seems like under win98, my system runs out of
memory and keeps crashing so I wanted to see if I can get 128 megs on
this thing. Even though the Intel Triton MX chipset will not cache any
memory if there is more than 64 megs.

        Actually, I'm planning to get a 770 series with the PII366, 128
megs of RAM and 14 gig HD so I was wondering if there was a easy way to
just merge what's on my 385ED with the new machine. Also, did anyone
compare the 770 series to the Compaq Armada 7800's?
