Hello, Anyone know anything about "piggy backing" memory chips? Quite sometime ago I vaugely recall reading something about being able to stuff more memory into your motherboard, but I haven't heard much about that since. Is something like that even possible with Pentium III & IV motherboards? Thanks, Jeff.

I assume you are talking about "risers" which allowed multiple chips to be plugged into a single mobo slot- no, there is no such thing anymore. On the plus side, memory modules (256mb, even 512mb) that are affordable today would have been unheard of or so expensive that you could not have even thought of buying them. -- Ramfan- 3/10's of 437, row MM #3-4.

There *are* actual "piggy backed memory chips" to consider... http://www.staktek.com/products/products1.html
