Thanks. I pretty much figured that part out from reading the FAQs this

>From what I understand, functionally, a ROM 01 and ROM 03 are pretty

the same except the ROM 03 systems have 1.25MB RAM stock, whereas the
ROM 01 has 256k. I think I read that GS/OS patches the ROM when it
loads.
So besides the extra RAM, there's not a big functional difference
between 01 and 03?
