I think I have 16 megabytes of RAM, if that's what you mean. I've managed
to get past the partitioning process and now am formating the disk drives,
but its sitting here *seemingly* not doing anything. No disk hits or

stuck solid.
I have to apologize for the small amount of memory in the 8500. I bought
this machine when memory was oh so dear.
