The mainboard has 32 slots and will take 16MB SIMMS.  That's 512MB.

There is a memory expansion board (VME) that has 64 memory slots.  It
too supports the 16MB SIMMS.  That would be one Gig...
Two of these can be used (in a 4/670), so... it would appear the max is 
2.5G.
(now wouldn't that be something).

I have several 600 mainboards.  I don't have any of the memory expansion 
boards,
and I don't have enough of the 16MB modules to fill the mainboard, never 
mind
the mainboard and two memory expansion modules.... but it would be a fun
experiment if I could get my hands on enough of the parts and if my 
x/x50 chassis
could do two memory boards (I think it is only 5 slots IIRC, so I don't 
think it would
even do it physically :-( ).
