There is a 4 mb simm soldered on, and you'll have to bin/sell/give away
the other one. I think the maximum you can put in is a 32 mb simm.

It is quite easy in theory but when I upgraded the RAM in my '630 a couple
of years ago I managed to destroy the motherboard which cost about �300 to
replace, and no I couldn't put a PowerPC one in. The moral is make sure
you use one of those earthing straps - some memory suppliers give them
away with the simms.
