My system has four SIMM slots for memory that are currently occupied by
(4) 256Kx9 80ns SIMMs to create a measly 1MB of RAM on my system.

I want to expand my system to 4MBs RAM.

Will I have to replace them with (4) 1MBx9 80ns SIMMS or can I put in just
one 4MBx9 80ns SIMM while leaving the other three SIMM slots empty?

Putting in just one 4MBx9 SIMM would cost me about $160 verses $200 for
(4) 1MBx9 SIMMs.  Plus, I wouldn't have to toss the 1MBx9 SIMMs when I
expand again.
