    What are the memory configurations for desktop Macintosh computers?


DISCUSSION

    The tables in this article show the memory configurations for desktop Macintosh computers. For information about upgrading the memory in another Macintosh computer, refer to the following TIL articles:

    Note: The following computers are not 32-bit clean. They require the 32-bit System Enabler for System 7.1 or the MODE32 Version 7.5 for System 7.5.x in order to run in 32-bit mode and take advantage of more than 8 MB of physical RAM: Macintosh SE/30, II, IIx, and IIcx.

    Note: Memory interleaving is supported in the Macintosh Quadra 800 and 650 computers when SIMMs are installed in pairs.
