System Memory Combinations
The table below shows possible memory combinations. The Performance/AU supports only 60 ns or faster Fast Page DRAMs. Using faster-than-specified SIMMs will not improve memory performance since memory timings are fixed to support only 60 ns SIMMs. SIMMs may be installed in Bank 0 only, Bank 1 only, or both banks. All installed SIMMs must be the same size and type. Memory error checking and correction (ECC) is supported through parity SIMMs (x36). Non-parity SIMMs (x32) may be used, foregoing ECC. Also note that Performance/AU supports only symmetric SIMMs. Non-symmetric SIMMs, which have DRAMs with an unequal number of row and column address lines, are not supported.
The Performance/AU motherboard supports only tin-lead SIMMs.

Tested SIMM Vendors - Fast Page SIMMs
The following tables list SIMMs that have been tested. SIMMs that are not listed should also function properly as long as their specifications are compatible with the devices listed below. In general, SIMM devices that are faster than those specified for a given platform will work, although no extra performance will be realized.
All Sizes: Tin-lead contacts.
