VJ >>I haven't taken off the cover yet, so I don't know if "they plug straight into the card, or mounted to a SIMM plugged into the card." Is it necessary to know this in advance? Does it make a difference in what I'm buying?<< Yes, there is a great difference. A train may go to many places, carry great loads, and go great speeds, but in the end it is always limted by the rails it uses. The RAM socket/slots, are your rails. You need to know: – how many of the sockets are empty, thus the maximum number of chips you can stil add. – are they SIMM slots for modules, or DRAM sockets for individual chips. – Do you need to add the RAM chips in 'tag-team' groups. – Do you need a certain speed of chip. (the speed inwhich the chips allows access.) — once every 60, 70, 80, or 120 nanoseconds (ns). Most of this info, should be in the manual (type of chip, speed, and number to add at a time.) It sounds like you have may have Commodore's CPU-card, and someone else that has that card, so be able to give you the info. Ron. – ap'ing with AP.
