I got a couple of suggestions about which slots to install memory in, but
nothing about whether memory interleaving is done, what performance issues
exist, etc. Basically, the ordering is:
J0201 SIMM0
J0202 SIMM2
J0203 SIMM5
J0301 SIMM3
J0302 SIMM6
J0303 SIMM1
J0304 SIMM7 J0407 VSIMM0
J0305 SIMM4 J0406 VSIMM1
No one had any suggestions/replies about the VSIMM situation, and whether 2
4m VSIMMs could be used in lieu of one 8m VSIMM.
Two replies stated that Barracudas should *not* be used internally in an SS20
due to cooling concerns. A well-ventilated external enclosure should be used
instead.
Thanks as always!
