Or possibly computer shows. Another problem the OP may encounter, RAM back 
then was in diffrent densities. Had an old P1 200 that maxed out at 128MB, 
yet I was never able to get it to see more than half of that. Tried various 
combinations through the years and never succeeded. In most cases, other old 
computers could see the full size so it was not like I was being sold 
mis-labled stuff.

Poor old thing died about a year ago at about 11 years old! RIP <sniff>
