Memory Modules

SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX system units come equipped with at least
16 megabytes of dynamic random access memory (DRAM), expandable to 96
megabytes. The X terminal comes with either 4 or 8 megabytes of DRAM,
expandable to 96 megabytes.
Physically, DRAM chips are grouped in single in-line memory modules (DSIMMs)
that plug into DSIMM slots located on the main logic board of the system unit (see
FIGURE 10-1
of accepting either 1-, 2-, 4-, or 16-megabyte DSIMMs.
The maximum memory configuration is 96 megabytes using six 16-megabyte
DSIMMs. You can combine different types of DSIMMs in the same system; however,
you must add DSIMMs in identical pairs. That is, you can add a pair of 4-megabyte
DSIMMs or a pair of 16-megabyte DSIMMs, but you can't add a single DSIMM or
add one of each type.

Video SIMM

SPARCstation LX systems can accommodate an optional 1-megabyte video SIMM
(VSIMM). The VSIMM plugs into a VSIMM slot on the main logic board and allows
SPARCstation LX systems to support the following video display resolutions:
1600 x 1280
1280 x 1024
1152 x 900 double-buffered

SBus Cards

You can add various SBus cards to the system's two SBus slots on the main logic
board.
