I'm thinking of increasing my memory and have
some general questions. My current system is a IIci
with 4MB (four 1MB SIMMs in Bank A).
1. I've seen some advertisments for 2MB SIMMs for
"IIsi, LC, IIci" - I've heard that the IIsi
can support 2MB SIMMS, but can my IIci??
Somehow, I think that add was a misprint since
similar adds for 2MB SIMMs don't mention the IIci.
2. If I were to use 2MB SIMMs, does that mean
I can have (4 x 2MB) + (4 x 1MB) = 12 MB ??
3. System 7.0 supports Virtual Memory, so do I
really need more that 4MB? Right now my system
(6.0.7) with all the INITs,etc.. takes up ~1.7MB
so it doesn't leave me much to run several large
applications at once. Will the Virtual Memory be
efficient enough or will I see thrashing with a
large system (>2MB) and only 4MB?
-Thanks
