The motherboard is fitted with sockets for four SIMM's these allow system RAM to be expanded to up to 128Mbytes using standard 32 or 36 bit, 72 pin, 70ns SIMM's.
The SIMM sockets are located at the front of the motherboard, beneath the 5.25" drive bay.
SIMM's must be installed in pairs. Each pair is called a bank, bank 0 is formed by the pair of sockets nearest the hard drive bay, bank 1 is formed by the pair nearest the processor. 32 and 36 bit SIMM's can be mixed, provided they are the same in each bank.
Apricot supplies 4Mb, 8Mb, 16Mb and 32Mb SIMM's, giving upgrade capacities of 8, 16, 32 and 64Mbytes. Any combination of these capacities is possible, using any capacity in either of the two pairs.
