I have a DX4 100Mhz machine with 4 pieces of 30 pin 16 meg simms (total
64)megs. I have been using them for several years. sometimes the machine
is a bit flakey and I always suspected the simms but could not isolate
the problem. But there are no major problems. I use the machine for
manipulating large graphic files and page layout files
