...probably quite the opposite..they would add to the enormous heat
generated by the onboard ramfield (aka. 'the heater elements' ;), and
would therefore be deemed a 'hot' bit of addon <grin>..but, you're right
about the 4M chips...wish I could do something useful with the bagful of
same I have sitting uselessly in drawers around here...or even the gaggle
of 1M SIMMS I have. Current plans for these include fishing lures, or
family heirlooms..

...geez, how do you put up with all that quiet? (^B
