J710 Memory Information

support sub-menu

The SuperMac J710 is based on Umax' Tanzania 2 logic board design, which has the following memory specifications:

  • EDO-capable, Fast Page-compatible
  • No fixed memory on logic board
  • Three DIMM slots, labeled Bank 0, Bank 1, and Bank 2
  • One 32MB EDO DIMM included in Bank 0; maximum capacity of Bank 0 is 32MB
  • Banks 1 and 2 can accommodate up to 64MB each
  • 160MB maximum DRAM

Additional memory should be added to Bank 1 first, then Bank 2, or from the center of the computer towards the outer edge. The following details should also be considered when adding memory:

  • Extended Dynamic Output (EDO) Memory - EDO is a subset of Fast Page DRAM which offers enhanced output capabilities. The benefit is comparable to that of Interleaving memory in other SuperMac systems, but the benefit can be gained from a single DIMM rather than requiring identical DIMMs to be paired.

  • Use of Fast Page DRAM - The J710 can utilize standard Fast Page DRAM with a marginal performance decrease relative to EDO memory. Fast Page and EDO memory may be used simultaneously in the J710, but the performance boost will only occur in read/write operations to the EDO DIMM (and to the included 32MB in Bank 0). Because memory allocation is somewhat dynamic within a session, is would be very difficult to predict whether or not 100% of a given application's memory operations are transpiring within the faster EDO space. The J710 does not support memory interleaving.
