Re: Using pkgsrc with low RAM

[Brian <cymraegish%gmail.com@localhost>]

Despite official limits on RAM being 32MB there are 64 and even 128 MB cards 
that work. I have  a 64 in my 475 and have also used a 128 which is in my 
quadra 630 presently. Some of the
630s have 2 slots and will take up to 192MB. 

Back maybe 4 years ago I paid less than $30 for the 2 cards.
