Subject: Mac memory configurations
There have been a number of questions and comments in the digest lately
about memory for the various Mac models - what size SIMMs to use, what
combinations of SIMMs are allowed, etc. Here is a chart produced and
published by Apple on AppleLink. The chart lists all the Mac models,
except those older than the Mac Plus. The Quadra 950 also is not listed,
but its memory specs are the same as the 900.
For each Mac model the chart lists how much RAM is soldered on the
board, how many SIMM slots it has, which SIMM sizes work in that model,
all the possible RAM configurations, and the required SIMM speed. I
have found this chart to be very useful, and in conjunction with the
Macintosh Memory Guide published by Connectix, all my Mac memory questions
have been answered.
The file is a binhexed, self-extracting Compact Pro archive of a MicroSoft
Word 4.0 file. I apologize for the non-generic format, but the chart
contains several special symbols that are not in the standard ASCII set,
so they didn't translate when I tried to make a text file out of it.
(If someone know how to do this, I would like to know.)
This chart is copyrighted by Apple and was published on AppleLink. I
got permission from them to publish it here, with the stipulation that
the copyright remain on the file and that the chart not be used in any
"for sale" products. Obviously I can't insure that this will happen, but
you have been informed. Please don't abuse this policy.
