Hello, I've decided to expand the memory in my cube. I ran the ROM monitor program and displayed the memory configuration. It said something like SLOTS 0-3 have 4MB paged memory SLOTS 4-7 have 4MB paged memory SLOTS 8-11 have 0 memory SLOTS 12-15 have 0 memory. I have a couple questions regarding the addition of SIMMS. 1) After reading the FAQ, I understand that SIMMs must be added in sets of 4. Does this mean a set of 4 identical capacity SIMMs? Like can I add 2 1MB SIMMs and 2 4MB SIMMs to make a set of four? (My guess is NO, the must all be of the same capacity.) 2) Can I buy a set of 4 4MB SIMMs and add them to slots 8-11? Or should I add them in slots 0-3 and move the 1MB SIMMS currently in those slots to slots 8-11? Does it matter?? 3) Is the FAQ current with regard to vendors selling the appropriate types of SIMMS that work on the 68040 board?? Any other places to try?? Thanks, Keith
