From the  announcement that appeared in SunFLASH v47 #32 last November:

Memory "is 60ns and is a new faster SIMM"

"There are 6 SIMM slots on both the SPARCclassic and SPARCstation LX
that can be filled with 4-MB or 16-MB SIMMS. These SIMMS must be added in
pairs. The 16-MB base systems use 4 SIMM slots."

".. both have a 64-bit memory bus that requires two 32-bit SIMMs to be
addressed at the same time"
