>From Motorola technical information pamphlet page 12. StarMax systems have three slots for memory modules(or DIMMs). The computer will work with a number of different memory configurations,from a minimum of 16Mb to a maximum of 160MB. Follow these guidelines when configuring your system's RAM: � DIMM slots can accept 16,32,and 64 MB DIMMS � All DIMMS must be 168-pin,3.3V unbuffered extended data out(EDO), 60 nanosecond RAM accsess time or faster. Slower DIMMs will not work reliably. SIMMs or DIMMs from Macintosh computers may not be compatible. � The DIMM slot marked "single bank" can accept a 16MB or 32MB, single bank DIMM, as installed at the factory. The remaining DIMM slots, marked "dual bank", can accept any single or dual bank of size 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB. NOTE: 64MB DIMMs must use 11-bit row address(2 KB refresh) I haven't shoped for dimms for a long time. There are a lot of sources out there. I have had success with crucial.com and memory x and theres OWC other world computing etc. If you need more info try the yahoo starmax list. jr -- StarMax is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> StarMax list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/starmax.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/starmax%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
