usually on motherboards that had edo slots and sdram slots, you have to use one or the other..
what I mean is that banks 0 and 1 (or 1 and 2 depending on how they are numbered) of the edo corraspond to slot 0 (or 1) of the sdram, ditto for the others... you can't usually fill all the slots, and even if you could, the memory would run as slow as the slowest piece in there.. (the edo in this case.) also, just because you have sdram slots doesn't mean you can wack two 256mb dimms in there, it also depends if the bios of the motherboard will except or recognise them.. I have come accross many motherboards over the years that wouldn't take a 64mb dimm and recognise it. it would either not run, or it would recognise the 64 as a 16mb. check out the motherboard manufacturers web site and see if there is a bios upgrade and what it adds to the system. but good luck with whatever you do. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Marcia Sent: Wednesday, 12 June 2002 9:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Upgrading memory Dear All, I mentioned lately that I have upgraded with simms EDO 72 pin memory to 128 megs of ram. To my surprise when I opened my box I found 2 empty dimm 168 pin slots. Does this mean that I could upgrade to 512 megs of ram using the 168 pin dimm sdram memory modules? I certainly would prefer that to a new computer or upgrading the motherboard/cpu. I have a 200 megahertz genuine Intel motherboard and Pentium II MMX processor. Also, I am using LM 8.2. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks. Marcia
