Well you have now. I own a AST 486DX33 Advantage Pro that requires that all
simms be the same. There are four simms slots and you can only use 72pin no
parity simms configured at four 4s, four 8s, four 16s, or four 32s. You
can't mix a 8 with a 16. I also have a one year old EPOX super seven board
with three SDRAM DIMM slots that maxes out at 3 X 128 meg SDRAM DIMMs for a
total of 384 megs. It won't accept a 256 meg SDRAM. I have tried it.
