True, and for the simple reason that machines differ in the amount of
memory mixing they will tolerate.  If possible, try the RTFM approach.
The documentation on my machine was so miserable that I won't even
mention its manufacturer out of fear of running afoul of the site.police
for making defamatory remarks, but the one thing that WAS spelled out in
gory detail was how to upgrade the memory and exactly how different SIMMs
could be mixed.
