Yes you can however the total ammount of memory can't exceed 16MB on the 4000 Mainboard.
you still need a 2MB chip for chip ram however I have had some success with 4 MB chips even though only 2 MB is recognised.

It's not the question, that is the problem, it is the problem, that is the question.

I would just make sure that they aren't those really weird two sided job dealings that bend up and break the simm holding. BTW, what was Commodore smoking when they decided to use PLASTIC for the memory clip?

You'll have to put the 8 MB modules in socket 1 and 3 to make it work. 8 MB is fine for Chip-RAM too, you just have to set the jumper to 8 MB. 4 MB would be recognised as 1 MB in that case.

Not really interesting, but it`s there.
