Notes
The Macintosh Color Classic comes with 4MB on the logic board. Using two 4MB SIMMs, a maximum of 10MB is possible. Total memory is 12MB but the Color Classic can address 10MB maximum.

You must fill both slots together.

32-BIT Information
This system has 32-bit-clean ROMs allowing it to take advantage of more than 8MB of physical RAM under System 7 by enabling 32 bit addressing in the Memory Control Panel.
VRAM Information
The Color Classic has 256k of VRAM soldered onto the logic board and one expansion slot for additional VRAM.

Using a 256k VRAM SIMM rated at 100ns, VRAM can be expanded to a total of 512k.
