But if he buys any new RAM, it's quite likely to have 2 or 4 chips.  They
seem to sell both in equal quantities - I mean, my 8 chip 16Mb modules are
brand new (upgraded from 64Mb of 70ns FPM to 64Mb of EDO - there is a
difference.  I think.) but the other day, I got 2x8Mb for a mate and they
were 4 chips each.
