5.2.13.1 Memory Modules

You can expand computer memory by installing industry standard single inline memory modules
(SIMMs) on the system board..
There are four memory sockets that can be populated when installing memory on the Pentium system
board and six memory sockets on the Pentium Pro system board.
SIMMs are installed in equally matched pairs; for example, two 8-megabyte modules, two 16-
megabyte modules, or two 32-megabyte modules. If you are mixing EDO and FPM DRAM, identical
modules must be installed two at a time, for example, two EDO modules of the same type, speed, and
size; or two FPM DRAM modules of the same type, speed, and size.
