I find this confusing.  I hope someone can clear this up for me.

The NeXTstation has main memory configurations of 8-32 megabytes.  It
simply has 8 simm slots that you can fill with 1 MB, 4MB, (or 16MB)
simms.  

But the color NeXTstation specs say it has 12-32 megabytes of main
memory.  What is the slot configuration on this machine?  Where do the 4
extra megs on the low end come from and why does it disappear when you
replace all 1MB simms with 4MB simms?  Main memory isn't used for color
video since the machine has 1.5 MB of VRAM.
