Folks,

My son bought a software tax package without realizing that his machine
didn't have enuf' RAM.  The box says 128 MB are needed and he may have
only 64.  We ran Belarc Advisor and it reports:

                        Memory Modules

        56 Megabytes Installed memory

        Slot "0" has 64 MB
        Slot "1" is empty

The machine is a six-year or seven-year old Compaq Presario w. Windows 98
and a 500 MHz AMD K6-2 processor.  The case has on the front the number
"7360" and on a label on the rear is printed "Series CM0204".  I guess I
don't understand the 56 MB installed - I though it came in multiples of
64 only, so does this mean that he may have 8 MB that's bad?

Finally,  we'll need to know just what to order, and wonder if we can add
128 MB to the 64, or do we have to remove the 64 before putting in 128 -
i.e. can different capacity memory boards be mixed?

May thanks for help from two novices,

Lewis Emerson
