Hi Daniel, My old 3000/200 Tower takes the 64MB'rs in the top two slots & the the single bank is on the bottom. The following is a StarMax List discourse from 8/23 dealing with RAM slot configurations: Good luck, Lou >> Point of confusion: >> >> I've got a 3000/200 with 160MB RAM & I know everyone says the first slot >> is single bank, but my ol' Max has the bottom slot (3rd slot, I presume) >> listed (printed next to the slot, on the board) as the single bank & >> that's the way I installed the buggers. 'Get Info' reads 160MB fine.
