The 6300 comes with XXX K of RAM installed on the motherboard.
This is determined by the amount that you ordered.  If you want
to add more RAM you simply insert them in increaments of 64K
right after the ones that are already there.  If you want the
RAM installed with a multi-function board just tell the switches
on the multi-function board where the RAM on your motherboard
stops ... in your case 128K.

The 6300 motherboard can handle up to 640K.  A real feature HUH!

P.S.  Make sure you install the RAM with the front (the end with
	the half circle indentation) pointed in the same direction
	as the ones already there.  Oh yeh!  Don't bend those little
	legs on the chips ( look like NYC roaches huh? ), you can
	get some real nasty problems from that!
