    ISSUE

       The Ascentia P series Memory Upgrade Option Guide (P/N:
       003479-900A), which is included in the Memory Upgrade Kit, does
       not list 32MB as a valid memory configuration.

       This issue applies to the following systems: All Ascentia P
       series computers.

    BACKGROUND

       The Ascentia P series Memory Upgrade Option Guide (P/N:

       16MB memory module for a total memory configuration of 32MB.

    ACTION

       The following memory configurations are considered valid in the
       Ascentia P series computers:

       Integrated         Bank1           Bank2           Total

          8MB             8MB             16MB            32MB
          8MB            16MB              8MB            32MB

       Upgrade Option Guide (P/N: 003675-900).
