These are for additional Video RAM, you can put 4 256kb VRAM SIMMs in
here to bump it up to 2MB. I have 2MB in mine and it is pretty cool :).
The best thing is that 256MB VRAM is dirt cheap and very common because
people who break LCs and Quadras have tons of the little blighters from
earlier machines, there 1 in every LC or LCII for example. You can not
use 512kb SIMMs as the upper 256kb of each SIMM is ignored. AFAIK they
must be in pairs.
