Basically what I meant is banks of two. There's
two SIMMS in a bank, with
2
banks, totaling 4 SIMMS.
If you install three 2 MB SIMMS, instead of getting a 6 MB memory reading,
you'll get a 4 MB reading and a memory error.
Nope.
You'll get a memory error until you run the reference disk. If you have an
error while running the reference disk then you have the wrong type of
simms.
It's not until you get to Pentiums that you need 72pin simms in pairs.

I've never heard of this "sets of 2" stuff on these.
They use the same simms as the desktop model 70 . . ie with presence
detect circuitry.
