If the latter, what is the >John Bruner Center for Supercomputing R&D, University of Illinois Based on my experience with the IIsi (been working with one for three months :) any old 100ns SIMMs will fit & work just fine. Now that the RAM crunch is over, you should have absolutely no problem getting low-profile SIMMs though. That's what is usually sold, I believe. You do have the restriction that whatever type of RAM you put in the system, you must fill the entire bank with that kind of RAM. This means you must put in four SIMMs of the same type and speed. 4 256k SIMMs, 4 1MB SIMMs, or 4 4MB SIMMs. Rumor has it that 2MB SIMMs will be introduced in order for those of us without bottomless wallets to upgrade to a healthy 9MB RAM system. -- | some rise... | Dan Schwarz, MB 2926 Brandeis U. | RECYCLE YOUR JUNK| | some fall... | I'NET dan@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu |------------------| | some climb... |----------------------------------| tradetapes?mailme| | to get to Terrapin ...
