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.

>4. What is the other larger socket for?

A 1 meg VSIMM. Lets you use the on-board tgx framebuffer in 1280 x 1024 or
1600 x 1280 modes as well as 1152 x 900.

Regards,

Craig.
