Performa 640 DOS Compatible: Adding Memory (8/95)


I would like to upgrade the memory in my Performa 640 DOS Compatible computer, for the computer itself and the DOS card. How do I do this?

Different RAM Expansion Slots
-----------------------------
The Performa 640 DOS Compatible computer ships with 8 MB of on-board memory and is expandable to 52 MB (for 68040 mode). This is achieved by installing one 32 MB SIMM in the double-sided slot and 16 MB in the single-sided slot. (The dimensions for each slot are printed on the logic board.)

It is possible to have other configurations greater than 8 MB and less than 52 MB. One must remember however, that the single-sided slot must always be half the value of the double-sided slot. For instance, a 16 MB SIMM can be inserted in the double-sided slot and an 8 MB SIMM in the single-sided slot.

DOS Card Memory
---------------
The plug-in DOS card ships with 4 MB of RAM and is expandable to 32 MB. The DOS Card contains 1 SIMM slot. The upgrade is achieved by removing the 4 MB SIMM and installing (at the largest) a 32 MB SIMM.
