When I bought it, I needed 16 SIMM slots. Some of us do/did. At the time, 72-pin SIMMs didn't exist; I have a 24-bit imaging card which uses up 1mb of address space in the bottom 16 megs. An 8-SIMM motherboard would have let me go up to 8mb; 16 SIMM slots lets me get up to 13mb of RAM. The motherboard was cost-competetive with 8-slot cards. Why trade in RAM at a loss? (If I were starting from scratch today, I'd probably get a board with four 72-pin sockets and populate it with three 4mb simms.)
