Hi,

I've been debating on buying SIMMS for my cube.  I almost bought some
the other day until the guy (I forget the place) told me that I
had to buy the chips in banks of four.  I wanted to get 4x8 sims for
4M for about $105.  I have $100, but don't have $400 like the guy
wanted.  So here's my question:

Right now I have 8 of the 16 slots filled with what I presume to be
1x8 chips giving me 8M of memory.  Can I simply plug in 1 bank
of 4x8 simms to give me a total of 12M?  Or can one not mix up
the type of chips on the board, ie. it's either all 1x8 or all
4x8.

Thanks in advance.  Please email.  Post optionally.
