2.1 SYSTEM MEMORY
The mainboard lets user add system memory via SIMM sockets on the
mainboard. On-board memory is located in two banks: Bank 0 -SIM1 &
SIM2, and Bank 1 -SIM3 & SIM4.
Both single sided and double sided DRAM modules are supported. The
mainboard can edcode the DRAM space from 8MB up to 512MB.

Note: Single means single side SIMM.
Double means double side SIMM.
The type of SIM1/SIM2 must be same.
The type of SIM3/SIM4 must be same.

Both 36 bits and 32 bits (non-parity) SIMM are supported, and user can
install either 4/8/16/32/64/128MB SIMM (72-pin) in each SIMM socket.
SIMM speed required for best performance depends on the CPU speed,
which requires 70ns SIMM.
2.2 CACHE MEMORY CONFIGURATION
256KB or 512KB secondary cache system is built in with Pipeline Burst
SRAM:
Cache Tag RAM Location: U7
Size of the Tag RAM: 16Kx8 or 32Kx8
