Yes, it needs to be installed in pairs. The Classic (aka LC), like the LX
(the Classic's more featured cousin) will support 4 meg and 16 meg 72 pin
single-bit parity SIMM's officially, but it's reported that 32 meg and 8 meg
72 pin single-bit parity SIMM's will work also. However, I've never been
able to confirm this for myself.

Regards,

Craig.
