No, Indys can use any mix of 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB
SIMMS, and they (and
Indigo2 and R4000 Indigo) take standard 72-pin fastpage-mode parity SIMMs.
There's a bug in the ASIC (according to SGI) on the 64-pin proprietary
SIMMs which means you can use any number of 2MB or 8MB SIMMs but only one
set of 4MB SIMMs on a 4D/35 or R3000 Indigo.
Well, these SIMMS sure do have the ASIC on 'em. 120 pin QFP if I have my
outlines right, takes up 1/3 of the back side of the SIMM! At least 8MB
SIMMs aren't affected.
