Hello, I was considering the Tyan Tomcat mainboard for a machine with more-than-average RAM. The mainboard manual claims it can accomodate 8 x 32 MB SIMMs, but I'm not sure if I believe that. Has anyone tried that out ? 32 MB SIMMs are usually double-sided. If it could accept 6 of the 32 MB SIMMs, that would be OK for me, too. What do all you people do who want 256 MB RAM in their machines ? Do you use 64 MB PS/2 SIMMs ? These are a bit hard to get, and more expensive than the comparable number of 32 MB SIMMs. I also haven't found a source of 64 MB EDO SIMMs at all, only FPM. Anybody know of a decent mainboard that can accomodate at least 4 x 64 MB DIMMs ? All the mainboards with DIMM sockets I know have no more than 2 of them. Cheers, Michael
