Title: SX32Pro - how much RAM can they take?
Post by: dangermouse on September 26, 2010, 06:18:44 AM

Hi

Just wondering how much RAM an SX32Pro can take? I know it has 2 64pin GVP SIMM sockets but the Big Book states a max of 4MB per slot (and a jumper to set whether 1MB or 4MB SIMMS are installed).

Then I read posts of people with 128MB in an SX32Pro...can anyone confirm what these things will take as my one as a single 4MB SIMM and I'd like to upgrade it if possible.

Thanks

The Big Books conflict :)

GVP SIMMs? You must be thinking of some other board. SX32Pro has a single standard 72pin SIMM socket.

Bah...you're right. My mistake..was fiddling with an SX32Pro and A530Turbo this afternoon and got the two mixed up.

Yes, I should be asking about the RAM an A530Turbo can take and it would help if I looked up that this afternoon instead of the SX32Pro..would have saved me some confusion.

Looks like 2x4MB GVP SIMMs is the best I can get unless someone knows otherwise. It's got 1x 4MB SIMM in her so I'm thinking 1 more 4MB will max her out. Shame..would have been nice to get 16MB or even 32MB...oh well.

Thanks guys

Just to be clear.... You are talking about this..

And not this

It is important cus I really don`t remember where I stored the SX32. The Turbo would be easier..... He says... mmmm

Should have said that I have all the paperwork for both also, you see, though finding stuff in the Amiga Repository can be a tricky here these days. More like treasure hunting of late. Fun though.

Ah, yes, the GVP 530 can take 8MB maximum.
