main system board. You can install 36-bit, tin-plated, fast-
page mode, single or double-sided SIMMs with a capacity of
16ME or 32ME running at 70ns or 801~. Check the following
guidelines to ensure that you choose the correct type of
SIMMs and install them properly:
double-sided SIMMs that operate at an access speed of 70
or 80 nanoseconds (ns). You can install lME, 2ME, 4ME,
