What's the maximum amount of chips on each simm module - and can chips be on both sides of the module.
Many thanks. Blo.

[quote="KachiWachi"]Then you have your answer - 128MB of SIMM is much better than 32MB of DIMM!! I've only just found out the capacity of each slot - But as i said, i didn't know 'diddley squat' about memory - which is why i wrongly refered to SIMM as DIMM... It must be a downer, dealing with idiots...

It has 4 X EDO Simm-(Each slot takes 32mb) =128mb Max
... and 1 EDO Dimm slot -(32mb max)...
I don't know a lot about memory, but i'm learning a little more each day.
... It's a clients PC - I swore i'd never mess with old PC's again, but got talked into it as a favour to a friend.
Many thanks, Blo.

This Vision Top VT-586VX mainboard only accepts 32mb edo in each of the 4 slots...
But just to get things clear in my head - Can i Only use SIMM, with upto 8 chips on the side.
Thanks again, Blo.

mny thanks to you all... Blo.

Is 32mb the maximum for each slot then!
... I didn't think of that...
Cheers. Blo.
p.s. Which is fastest, 60ns or 70ns

VT-586VX is all that's written on the board... I've just given the PC back to client without flashing. Everything's working fine - but a 1996 bios isn't good is it! I couldn't wait any longer, so i installed win98, a new CD Rom, office 97, and only 40mb EDO Ram... My mate's hopefully sorting me some...

Could anyone point me the way to the right BIOS FLASH + FLASH UTILITY for this board... The company is no longer trading, (PRIME TECHNOLOGIES), and i've looked everywhere i can think of. Here is the boot screen numbers (bottom of screen)... 07/01/96-I430VX-2A59GV59C-OO Thanks very much in anticipat...
