When they are put in, they must be installed in sets of two. Therefore the available configurations are 4 - 256K simms. -----> 1 meg 2 - 256K and 2 - 1meg simms -----> 2.5 megs 4 - 1meg simms. -----> 4 megs That is all that the mac logic board is built to accept. I'm not sure, but I think that MacSnap makes a ram expansion kit that allows two simms to be plugged into each slot, the problem is that it comes with it's own simms so you still would not be able to use your left over simms.
