It's all speculation at the moment ... I'm sure I saw somewhere that it was 72pin EDO SIMMs but if it is DIMMs then fine, not a problem. The memory is still available if it is SIMMs but it's not as cheap as DIMMs.

 

Personally it's not a problem either way ... I think I have some 32Mb SIMMs in an old PC in the spare bedroom and a couple of 32Mb DIMMs in a K6-2 266.

SIMMs are keyed and have side springs...

 

DIMMs are keyed and have side clips...

I think you are right but not 100% sure....the faq certainly seems to indicate that upgrading is add a dimm rather than replace. In fact it says ......

 

1. Insert the DIMM card in a socket at an angle and push it down until it locks into place. Note that the DIMM card is keyed to prevent it from being inserted backwards. There are two side springs to hold the DIMM in place. In the Point 510, the DIMM can be installed in either of the two sockets.

the last sentence pretty much says you can install one dimm. Of course you can still only upgrade if it is a single 32mb installed rather than 2x 16mb.

I was always under the impression that Dimms (the D being dual) eliminated
the need for 2 x Simms (S being single)

Or have I been a crap hardware engineer !

(actually, dont answer that)
