- When putting in memory, you must put in the correct number of bits. A SIMM is
- only 8 bits (plus parity).
-
- a 286 is a 16 bit bus so 2 SIMMs are needed
- a 386SX is a 16 bit bus so 2 SIMMs are needed
- a 386DX is a 32 bit bus so 4 SIMMs are needed
- a 486 (SX or DX) is a 32 bit bus so 4 SIMMs are needed.
-
-
- You could use 2 4Meg SIMMs and 2 2Meg SIMMs in a DX, but it will only register
- 4Meg.
