486? 8MB with 1MB SIMMs?! Sounds like they're 30Pin... If so, the
motherboard is bordering on obsolete... You need to replace in sets
of 4, and they all have to be the same. Namely, you may have 4 1 Megs
and 4 2 Meg SIMMs for a total of 12 MB. Quite frankly, I don't know
where you would get 2 Meg 30 pin SIMMs anymore. Actually, I'm not
sure they made those in a first place. 1 Meg may be the biggest
available...
In my opinion, you'd be better served by going out and buying a new
motherboard...
