No, both the 32k and the 256k are AGB hardware. The difference is akin to
level 1 and level 2 cache - the 32k is far faster, but more expensive and
thusly more limited.

There's been a lot of discussion of this on the list. On the web page for
the group, you can search for keywords. I would suggest digging for the old
dialogue. (I should note that Yahoo's database search is rather
problematic - if you search for something, go get a drink, go to the
bathroom, come back, and hit search again, you're going to get quite a few
more results.)

Seperate issue: though most of you probably already know about this, Yahoo!
changed *all* of our marketing settings to opt-in without our consultation.
I would recommend that each of you go to your account info page, to
"marketing preferences", and set all of those to "no". Then, complain.

the simplest way would be to manage the two areas of memory yourself - that way you have complete control over what goes where! :) ninge ... From: John...
