Ron- >If you were going to add 512K, to an 8-bit buss, you would only need two >256K 8-bit SIMMs. To create two banks of 256K. > >If you were going to add 512K, to a 16-bit buss, you would only need two >256K 8-bit SIMMs. to create one bank of 256K. The two 8-bit SIMMs would >give 16-bits. I don't understand this – you have 1 bank of 256k in the second example. Wouldn't it be 2 8bit chips together giving 1 512k 16bit wide bank? Paul
