Hi,

	I need to get more RAMs for my classic NSC non-parity, but got  
pretty confused with SIMM naming convention. The FAQ suggests using the  
following:

"1Mx32	One by thirty-two SIMM, Literally Four Megabit Chips arranged to  
form a 32 bit word.  This is four Megabytes (one million base-two  32 bit  
addresses)".

	Is it saying that there are 32 1M RAM chips mounted in one module?

	Does the '32' referer to the 32-bits address? Or 32 of 1 MegaBits  
Chips? When I open the slab, I saw four out of the eight slots are  
occupied with SIMM modules; Each of them has 8 chips vertically mounted. 
So, they are definitely  4 Mega RAM chips which forms 4 Mega Bytes in each  
module. To be honest, it sounds more like a 4Mx8 SIMM which are used in a  
MonoSlab to me. There is also 72 Pins on each module which is split into  
half, 36 in one side, and 36 to the other.

BTW, is there any good place (mail order) for SIMMs? 
Many thanks,

g
