- I recently bought a Performa 600CD, which came with 5 meg of memory --
- 4 soldered in and 1 meg added so I am told. I want to add a 4 meg
- simm which would give me a total of 9 megs. Will this work? In a
- MacUser magazine article on memory it says that the performa 600 can
- be configured for 4, 5, 8, 12, 20, etc. If I have five and add four,
- doesn't that give me nine? The question is, must all of the simms be
- the same size (with the possible exception of the original four?), or
- can a 4 meg simm coexist with the 1 meg already installed?
-
- Also, MacUser claims that I can install memory in my Performa without
- voiding the warranty (well, they didn't mention me personally ... :-)?
- I mean, is somebody out there ABSOLUTELY sure that I won't void the
- warranty? I can't find any written word from Apple stating the fact,
- though to be honest I haven't looked at all the docs I got. I may be
- missing some docs because I took delivery of a demo machine. Now, I
- don't need warnings pertaining to the physical act (ooooohhhh!) since
- I went to school to be a hardware tech on (gasp) IBM equipment back
- when an AT was something to brag about (though I gave that up when I
- got my CS degree -- I'm much happier now as a programmer, thank you).
- I know simms are different (presumably easier than chips), but I am
- well aware of static discharge and other hazards of tinkering with the
- innards.
-
- Thanks.
