Tip: 8 bit = 1 byte, 32 bit = 4 byte. The SIMM size is
represented by number of data byte (whether with or
without parity), for example, the size of single side SIMM
using 1M by 4 bit chip is 1Mx32 bit, that is, 1M x 4 byte=
4MB. For double side SIMM, simply multiply it by 2, that
is, 8MB.

For getting the best performance and stability under 100MHz or above external
clock, we strongly recommend you use PC 100 SDRAM. The PC 100 SDRAM
that AOpen had tested are listed below.
