- I am trying to convince a friend of mine to purchase the LC II (price
- considerations here). I am aware of its limitations, but there is one
- thing I am not clear on.
- How can you get a LC II to 10 megs of real RAM? I know that
- it has 2 simm slots, and it has 4 megs on board (the original LC had
- only 2 megs on board). But with a ceiling of 10 megs, how can it be
- reached with waste?
- 4-megs on board + 2 1-meg simms = 6 megs
- 4-megs on board + 2 2-meg simms = 8 megs
- 4-megs on board + 2 4-meg simms = 12 megs (2 megs wasted!!!)
-
- None of these configurations work! So, fill me in guys: do I have to
- waste 2 megs to get 10 megs, or is 10 megs exactly unattainable on
- the LC II?
- (or I wrong about it having 4 megs on board? and 2 of
- these are just simms? So you 2 4-meg simms for exactly 10 megs?)
