It means the new version will support 256MB of RAM, instead of the 
current 16MB.  Remember the article was written by PC (<-) Week,
and not UNIX World, Review, etc.  The drivers are more refined (EISA
support), as is the kernal I believe, and C2 sercurity management 
is supposed be easier.  Its a pain right now.

I have no affiliation with SCO other than being a satisfied OpenDesktop
developer who can't wait to get the next version.  I've got a SystemPro
here that can't wait to get loaded up.
