|Ok, you can use 4 or 16 meg single-bit parity 72-pin 60 ns SIMM's in a Sparc
|LX and a Sparc LC (aka Classic). You can insert other capacity SIMM's, but
|they will either not work at all or only part of the RAM will be used.
|
|The maximum ammount of RAM you can installed is 96 meg.
|
|I have tried 8 meg SIMM's, and only 4 meg of each SIMM is used. With 32 meg
|SIMM's only 16 meg was used.


	Several peopl have reported success with 2 32MB
	& 4 16MB simms for a total of 128MB
