Use the plastic wrap belt solution.It has worked for many,


and what would that be? holding the module in place with plastic belt instead of the metal 'hooks'?

sounds unreliable, what if it comes loose? the turbo card might get damaged..

I've used this method before myself, The heat given off by the processor and ram is nowhere near enough to cause the plastic tie to creep.

or buy your self some low profile ram modules. They are dead cheap on ebay.

I couldn't find any; at least not the large capacity ones needed for OS4.
Same here - I've never seen any low profile- or single-sided 128MB modules. I'd recommend the plastic tie-wrap method myself. Cheap, cheerful, cost effective,
