RAM Addressing

Signals A[0] - A[12] and BA[0] - BA[1] on each RAM DIMM make up a 15-bit multiplexed address bus that can support several different types of SDRAM devices. Table 4-2 lists the types of devices that can be used in the Power Mac G4 Cube by size, configuration, and sizes of row and column addresses.

IMPORTANT

The Power Mac G4 Cube supports only the types of SDRAM devices listed in Table 4-2. Other types of DRAM devices should not be used with this computer.
