   Well, that's a mighty big chip there you'll need. About 10 inches
wide, 14 inches deep. Attaches directly to the case, not any socket,
so you'll have to scrap the existing motherboard. Despite the few more
features in the ROM 3, the ROM 01 is just as well liked by modern
software-- there's no reason at all to go past an 01 for things. Spend
the money on something that'll make the GS more useful like 4MB ram or
a HD. [Sure, the ROM 3 comes with some more RAM, but still not enough
to be usable for a power system]
