- I was talking to my brother today about the LC II and noted that it
- 1) only held 10 MB RAM, 2) had 4 MB soldered on the mother (board, that is)
- 3) had 2 SIMM slots.
-
- So, to get 10 MB of RAM either 1) you load in 2 4MB SIMMS, wasting 2 MB or
- 2) somebody makes 3 MB SIMMS.
-
- Am I correct, and why did they limit to 10MB when 12 feels so good?
