Fred:
Win 95 is pitiful in 8 megs. I have a 755CDV that I upgraded to 16 megs
immediately after converting to Win 95. It worked quit well at 16mb. From
desktop experience, I found that 20mb or more made a big difference from
16mb so I took out the 8mb card and put in a 16mb card for a total of 24mb.
It seems to work well with this combination. I found it makes a big
difference when using Netscape as well. It seems that Netscape was more
reliable and quicker with more memory in the machine.
If you do want to try with 16mb, I have the old 8mb card from my machine.
It is an IBM Platinum Card by Viking with a lifetime warranty and is the
more expensive parity memory. I would take fifty US dollars for it.
