I used to run OS/2 2.1 with mixed 8 meg of memory: 4 with 3 chip, 4 with 9-chip,
different manufacturers, no problem.

Since Warp I've upgraded to 20 meg: I've keep the 9-chip 4 meg and added
16 meg from yet another manufacturer. On top of that, the little plastic latch
for one of the simms broke on me (oh, those big fingers!), and I improvised a
plastic holder and a little tape.

It workers like a charm, every time.
