Whether IBM or 3rd. party, buy lots of it ! Certainely NOT 8meg.-
16 is a minimum, 32MB probably makes more sense, but you really have
to benchmark your applications in order to decide.

I think that the Silicon Graphics adapter requires 2 slots, so in case
that's what you need, you'll have NO free slots left.
