- IPXs have only 4 slots for SIMMs, so they have never been shipped with 1MB
- SIMMs. Most of our IPXs were ordered in December, and arrived in January with
- a single 16MB SIMM each. All the ones ordered since then have as well. 16MB
- SIMMS are the only way you will get past 16MB total memory in an IPX, so
- that's definitely the way to go.
-
- If you're paranoid, you could specify on your PO that it be equipped with a
- single 16MB SIMM. Then you can send it back if for some reason it doesn't :-).
- But I don't think any of them are being shipped with 4x4MB these days.
