Pentium system board with SIMM's
On the Pentium system board, the system bus is 64 bit wide. Therefore, the SIMM's are
installed in pairs. Since the standard system board only has two banks with a total of four SIMM
sockets, RAM expansion possibilities are limited. NOTE: never use different speed RAM
modules on the Pentium system board. All modules must have the same speed. Here you see
a few configurations on a Pentium system board with four SIMM sockets:
Certain system boards (like TYAN) have 6 or 8 SIMM sockets. That provides more RAM
expansion flexibility.
