I have a machine with a TXPro II motherboard. Is this the same as yours? If
so, it has four 72-pin SIMM sockets and two 168-pin DIMM sockets. It can use
FPM or EDO SIMMs or FPM, EDO or SDRAM for the DIMM socket. The speed of all
the SIMMs and DIMM modules must be faster than 70ns. There are many
different configurations for 64MB. If you are currently running 16MB x 2 in
SIMM slots 1&2 you can add 16MB x 2 in SIMM slots 3&4 for a total of 64MB.
You might also try the www.pcchips.com site for information on your board.
