I have 3 486's - 2 ol laptops which are dx50's and a a desktop which is a dx33 2 have 8meg and the one laptop only 4 meg RAM but runs Windows for Workgroups nicely the others have Win 95 and run OK but they do shine with DOS 6 and 64HDD or Star Commander for C= computers and APE for DOS is pretty good for the Atari computers

 

But yeah RAM is the way to go to and get peaked! I forget what max Memory for those are? 16 Meg I think

Depending on the motherboard, you might already be at the max RAM (~4MB). It's probably also best to stick to DOS (hello config.sys/autoexec.bat). You should be able to run anything up to (and including) DOOM.

There are a few empty slots for SIMMS but that doesn't really mean much. At the time I was way more into Atari's and I have very little knowledge about these old PC's. I was hoping it would reach 32Mb's but I guess if it goes up to 16 I will be happy.

I was considering installing Freedos and GEM thus giving it a kind of Atari feel but I don't know if that will be possible. I guess I'll have to find out

Thanks for the suggestions.
