I just picked up an STe and popped off the cover (voiding my warranty) to check out whether I can upgrade to 4 meg like the dealer said without any adapter. The simms in there now look kinda funny, but that's only because I've only seen Mac simms, I guess. Can I just pop in some standard 1 meg simms like you can get from Mac mail order places? I heard something about 120ns or better, is that right? Thanks for any help. Peter D.

You can use SIMM's as fast as 70ns or as slow as 120ns; but 80ns and 100ns will be the easiest to find, and the best priced. Remember not to remove the entire RF shield from the motherboard, just the small RF shield covering the memory (between the power supply and the flopp drive). Bye............
