Memory Upgrade

The system board comes with eight 72-pin SIMM sockets that support
4-MB and 16-MB single-density SIMMs as well as 8-MB and 32-MB
double-density SIMMs for a total system memory of 256-MB. The
sockets support both the fast page mode and EDO 60 ns SIMMs.
See Table 1-3 for a list of some possible memory configurations.
1.6.1

Rules for Adding Memory

Use only one type of SIMM in a given bank. You may combine
different types of SIMMs for a memory configuration as long as
the SIMMs in each bank are of the same type.
You may use the memory banks (Bank0 ~ Bank3) in any order.
Always install SIMMs in pairs. For example, for a total memory
of 16 MB, install two 8-MB SIMMs in a bank. You can not use a
16-MB SIMM alone for a 16-MB memory.
