JUst got an AST Desktop for free from a friend at work.
It has a crappy P100 which I have upgraded with the max cpu it can take...a whoppin' P166 😁 and 128 meg's or RAM...also max for this 1995 PC 😉
What sucks about this PC...typical "business PC" disease a lá Dell, Compaq, Packard Bell etc is that you're trapped into their custom hardware...
For example I can't disable the onboard video which is now only 1mb but upgradable by 4 sockets which are smaller than the typical sockets you find on most gfx cards.
This is what the sockets look like

Has anyone seen a gfx card which has these sockets so I can snatch ram from it?
The ram type is suppose to be:
256KB x 8 70ns DRAM modules at system board locations U27-U30. (See Options)
