      MM>Is it possible to run a motherboard with 2 1GB memory sticks and 2 2gb memor       MM>sticks = 6 gb ram for the time being?              Matt,              In 1993 when I was studying what I wanted in my first 486 "Compatiable"       computer, I decided that I wanted 8MB of SIMM RAM.              A friend of a friend told me that wouldn't work because I had to have       all four SIMMs the same, so I would either have to put four 1MB SIMMs in       or put four 4MB SIMMs.              I decided to get 4 4MB sticks for 16MB total RAM.              The 486 computer was delivered in early 1994 and I figured the RAM cost       me $540.00US.              The XP computer I have came with 1GB of DDR memory split between 2 500MB       sticks.              I added 2 1GB DDR sticks to it and now run 3GB of DDR memory.              So You may be able to mix them up and they will work.              Good Luck!                      * SLMR 2.1a #T348 * Can I blame all of my spelling on line noise?       --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux        * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1)    |
