Hi folks,

Another in the long line of memory upgrade notes...

My si's currently got 2M (1M static + 4*256K SIMMs).  Now, my understanding
is that as long as the memory speeds are fast enough (90 or 100ns I think),
I can mix'n match pretty much as I please.  So, my question is, if I plan
on purchasing an additional 4M of memory, why wouldn't I just get a single
4M SIMM instead of 4*1M SIMMs?  Seems to me I'd end up with an additional
768K of memory onboard instead of collecting dust somewhere.  Although I
haven't been pricing, it would also seem that a single 4M SIMM would be
cheaper than 4*1M SIMMs, no?  Oh well, someone please set me straight!

Oh, before I let you go, let me pose the popular follow-up:  where have
folks been getting the best price/quality/service on memory upgrades?

Thanks much!
