Hello world,
My PS2/30 has two SIMM chip modules that together make up 640KB of base
memory.  I have an old model 30 (ie 8088 chip) in this machine and i am
wondering if i could purchase some 1 MB x 1 SIMM chips and put 2 MB on my
motherboard? can this be done and have the computer work? will it recognize
 the extra memory?  i friend told me that 8088 cannot access anything beyond 1
MB, is this true?

thanks for all the help (in advance)
