I'm looking at the 4D-35 brochure from SGI.  It's rated at 27 MIPS,
5.0 MFLOPS, both "(est)".  It's got 64 kB data cache, 64 kB instruction cache,
(compared to 32/64 on the 4D-25), will accept up to 128 Mb main memory

Question:  is this done using 8Mb SIMMS or by providing double the slots?.

Another Question:  what do I have to specify to a third party vendor to
get 4MB SIMMS for my 4D-25 that I will be able to continue to use if I get 
the -35 upgrade?
