Let's take a closer look at all of that fancy circuitry we just pulled out. We'll start with the memory board, called an MC3.

Memory is available in 16MB (pink stripe) and 64MB (purple/green stripe) simms. The simms are removed just like some old-fashioned PC memory from the early 90s: pull straight up on the white handle, and pray that nothing snaps!
