SIMMs can be either 60 ns (EDO) or 70 ns (fast-page mode).
SIMMs are 32-bit, nonparity.
SIMMs must be installed in matched pairs.
SIMM socket pairs must be filled in this order: SIMM1 and SIMM2; SIMM3 and SIMM4.
The number and arrangement of chips on the SIMM may vary.
The SIMMs used on this system have tin leads.
