The 2 MB of RAM in an LC is soldered on to the motherboard, not on a SIMM. So no, it can't be removed.

If there was extra SIMMS in the LC though, the answer would be yes.

There aren't 2MB of RAM soldered onto the mobo of my LC!
I have a chip in a special ram-socket thats marked "FOR USE WITH MAC LC ONLY"! Thats my 2MB chip!

That would be your vram (note the special ram socket)

LC's and LC II's use 30 pin simms, in pairs. 2 megs of ram is soldered on the mobo.

BTW, you probably can't tell the RAM soldered on unless you know a lot about ICs - it isn't a stick of RAM soldered in like a fixed 'slot', just normal black ICs on the mobo.

So, you're telling me that that is that elusive VRAM socket that I've been looking for??? COOL! Although I've come to find that my previous problem was caused by the limitations of the monitor, not the computer.

Actually, on rev. B of the LC II board, there are 4 MB RAM soldered on...
