re mb isa limit marka ssd csd harris com mark ashley writes in the latest pc magazine pentium isssue there is an editorial on the advantages of a pc using eise vesa lb rather than just plain isa vesa lb supposedly users will eventually want more than mb of ram however since the isa bus has only bits then anything on the bus can access only mb even if i have mb on the motherboard so far i agree with the arguments then the writer claims that glitches can occur in systems with over mb because of that limit that part i don t understand because the ram is right on the motherboard so the cpu should have no problems talking with the ram can anybody explain this the problem is with isa bus masters which can only address the first mbs of system memory bus masters do not use the cpu nor the system dma to do the actual data transfer but transfer their data directly to the system ram rp roger c pao gordius bagdad pride mts rpao rpao mts mivj ca us
