The information is accurate. Not all mobos can handle 4 chip SIMMs. They are
not new (I use that term carefully after receiving my last rebuttal of
opinion based on time <G>). How can you tell if it will work. If the
manufacturer does not address the issue, then testing them in the system is
the only way.
