How rare?
Contrary to Tony's experience I'm writing this on a m/c with an Abit PX5
and single 64MB SDRAM DIMM, 8 chips each marked:
ACE EC84208-10FN 03 JEM (no logo)

This particular board has run for nearly a year with firstly another,
then this 64MB DIMM. I did have a second PX5 which also ran OK with 64MB
DIMMs. Indeed the AX5/PX5/TX5 manual lists 2x 64MB or even 2x 128MB
DIMMs as being valid combinations.

Are there more subtle differences in DIMMs that cause these
incompatibilities?
