Hi I have a 486DX 33 based motherboard which I want to replace with a 
P-100 one. The memory on the old board is 30pin, but since I have 16 MB 
of it, I want to hold on to it. I know I can use simm swappers, but do I 
have to balance the memory on each bank? There are four slots on the new 
motherboard - does this mean there are two banks each with two slots? Do 
I have to fill both slots on a bank? If I use a simm swapper with the 
16MB of old memory, will I have to buy another 16MB to balance it?

BTW my old memory is 4 x 4MB

TIA
Glenn Millen
