If I remember correctly, the Quadra comes with 4MB already soldered on the
mother board and four empty simm slots.  Thus with your current memory you would
have 20MB on your ci.  Of course if 20MB is still not enough memory you could
put 16MB chips is the slots giving you 68MB of memory.  Hope this helps.
