III. INSTALLATION 2. System Memory (SIMM & DIMM) This motherboard supports four 72-pin, 32-bit SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Mod- ules) of 4, 8, 16, 32, or 64MB to form a memory size between 8MB to 256MB. The SIMMs can be either 60ns or 70ns Fast Page Mode (FPM) (Asymmetric or Sym- metric), or Enhanced Data Out (EDO) (BEDO & Parity are not supported). SIMMs must be installed in pairs so that each Row (see Map of Motherboard for Row loca- tions) contains 64-bits of the same size and type of memo
