Item 3 on the above list is not always correct. My SM 180 MT came with a 32 MB chip in one of the double bank slots and after getting two 64 MB chips and placing the factory original in the single bank slot I found that the 32 MB chip was indeed a double bank chip and I had only 144 MB total. I don't know how common this was. I've been meaning to note this for several years but never got to it. I think the phrase "as installed at the factory" could be deleted since it really adds very little of value. VTY, S.
