Craig,

It sounds like you have a Mother Board that can take both the 72 pin simms and
the 168 pin Dimms.  If you look at the manual it should tell you how you can
have the RAM and it what combination you can have it in.

Also is what type of processor do you have is it a Socket 7 or a Slot 1 Mother
Board it all depends on what type of chip you have.

ATX boards do have the processor of to the right with either type of processor
just depending on the size of the board.

If you would like to ask more questions of me directly you can respond directly
to my E-mail address.
