The Mac LC/Performa 580 shipped with 4 MB soldered on the motherboard and two 72-pin SIMM sockets for memory expansion – twice as many as the LC 550 and 575 – for up to 52 MB total system memory, the most possible in any 500-series Mac. Like other 500-series Macs, it has a slide-out motherboard.
With the ports on the motherboard facing you, you will see two SIMM socket near the left edge. The leftmost SIMM socket can accept single-sided or double-sided SIMMs of 1 MB, 2 MB, 4 MB, 8 MB, 16 MB, or 32 MB. The other socket can only accept single-sided SIMMs, which come in 1 MB, 4 MB, and 16 MB sizes. The 72-pin SIMMs must be 80ns or faster.

With six capacity options for the left SIMM slot and three for the right one, there are numerous upgrade options.
