The implication I've heard is that I can only address 4 Meg with my 1040 STe.
I've already upgraded to that point with 4 1-Meg SIMMS, and am wondering if,
should memory prices drop in the future, I'll be able to expand with
4 2-Meg or 4 4-Meg SIMMS.

Is there an architectural restriction limiting a 1040 STe to addressing
4 Meg, and if so, what is that restriction?  Also, can anyone explain if and
why I must add symetric amounts of memory in the SIMM slots? (eg 4 1-Meg, not
1 1-Meg and 3 256K, etc.)

Thanks,
