Memory in Everex??

First, I'd like to say that the reason I am posting this to comp.unix.xenix is
that I've heard quite a few people in that newsgroup say they had Everex
computers. I thought some of them may know the answers to my questions.
This is not about xenix (not really).
I have an Everex Step 386/16 with two MB of memory on the motherboard. I would
like to upgrade to 4MB. I don't want to get in from Everex because its
expensive and I don't need 25ns chips. So, here's my questions:
1) Is it better to get SIMMS and put them into the motherboard or
buy an memory expansion board and add memory to it?
2) If its the memory expansion board route I should go, what brand
should I get? I am running SCO Xenix and AT+T Unix. I would like it
to be compatible with both.
3) Someone told me that I have to get the right number of POW chips
(have no idea what these are) on the motherboard if I want to put the
memory on the motherboard. Can anyone tell me what these are, how I
can get them (not from Everex), and what configuration they would be in
if I put 4MB of memory in?
4) Last question is, what is a good memory speed to go with? I've
got 25ns chips, but I'm planning on getting slower memory and selling
these (as I have to have the same speed and I'm not about to pay the
prices for 25ns chips). Suggestions? 60ns?
Thanx in advance for the help.
