| Will a 128MB SIMM run in a Color Classic II motherboard? |

Hi folks...
I have about 34MBs of RAM in my Color Classic II motherboard. I have a 128MB SIMM that will fit that memory slot.
Will it work? If I plug in this SIMM and it fails, I won't hurt anything right? I just unplug it and put the old one back in?
I bought this memory along with a Performa 575 board to do the Mystic upgrade. The upgrade has yet to happen.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks

My SIMM:
128 MBs
72p
60 ns
16c
16 X 4
1RX 4
EDO
5V

and if it will work, can I turn off memory checking so the Color Classic will boot faster???

Unfortunately that CCII/LC550 motherboard maxes out at 36MB.
If you were to use a 575 board (aka Mystic) you can use 128MB sticks.

Thank you omidimo. Guess I had better read up on that 575 upgrade....

I tried a 128MB SIMM in a Quadra 630, it works brilliantly. I would imagine that 575 and 580 work similarly. I don't think that LC 550 supports 128MB SIMMs.

Should support 'em right up to the artificial memory ceiling. It's a waste of a high capacity SIMM but if there's no pressing need to use it ATM, a more suitable replacement ought to turn up in a new conquest before long for a memory swap.

Ahh, okay thats good info. I thought you wouldn't boot with an unsupported SIMM, but now that I think about it, it does make sense. A waste of a 128MB SIMM though to put it in a machine like that.
