: if *their* motherboards have the SIMM slots correctly spaced?

I've got the gateway machine (66DX2 Vesa) and it only takes 4MB or 16MB
simms, or some combination of the two. However, it can accept at most 2 of
the 16MB simms built using the old parts. (The limitation was supposed to be
because of the extra capacitance of these parts)

I did something similar - I ordered 16MB and requested it on 1 simm. I got
the system on time, but it was someone elses order! Since it was the same
machine, but with different S/W and only 8MB, I exchanged the S/W and had
them refund me for the memory.

: CAVEAT EMPTOR!

Always!
