- Hello,
-
- I've decided to expand the memory in my cube.
- I ran the ROM monitor program and displayed the
- memory configuration. It said something like
- SLOTS 0-3 have 4MB paged memory
- SLOTS 4-7 have 4MB paged memory
- SLOTS 8-11 have 0 memory
- SLOTS 12-15 have 0 memory.
-
- I have a couple questions regarding the addition
- of SIMMS.
-
- 1) After reading the FAQ, I understand that SIMMs must
- be added in sets of 4.
-
- Does this mean a set of 4 identical capacity SIMMs?
- Like can I add 2 1MB SIMMs and 2 4MB SIMMs to
- make a set of four? (My guess is NO, the must all
- be of the same capacity.)
-
- 2) Can I buy a set of 4 4MB SIMMs and add them
- to slots 8-11? Or should I add them in slots
- 0-3 and move the 1MB SIMMS currently in those
- slots to slots 8-11? Does it matter??
-
- 3) Is the FAQ current with regard to vendors
- selling the appropriate types of SIMMS that
- work on the 68040 board?? Any other places to try??
-
- Thanks,
- Keith
