H017784 - PC 300 6577 & 6587 DOES NOT SUPPORT 70NS MEMORY TEXT: The IBM PC 300 Series 6577 and 6587 systems were designed to operate with 60ns Industry Standard memory SIMMs only. Installation of any other speed or type of memory is not supported by IBM. The "Installing Options in Your Personal Computer" document that ships with the PC 300 does contain a chapter on "Installing a 70ns Memory Upgrade." As part of the 70ns installation, the user is instructed to access the systems Setup Utility, which contains a setting under "Memory Option" in the Advanced Setup area that allows the user to select a setting for slower memory (70ns). Using this setting MAY allow the system to recognize SOME 70ns SIMMs and will appear to function normally. The operation of the system in with this configuration is not supported even if the system does recognize and function with the 70ns memory SIMM(s).
