I don't like to disagree with someone from Apple about one of their products,
but I have both an SC and an NTX and can state that the SC memory is on SIMMs,
not socketed (at least on the SC board that I own -- one of the early ones).
You add more memory to an NTX by adding SIMMs.  There are three banks of
four SIMMs possible.  It comes standard with the first two banks filled with
256KB parts for a total of 2MB and the third bank empty.  Populating the
board with SIMMs is analogous to populating a Mac II board.  Like parts in
groups of four.  The maximum possible at the moment is 12MB.
