With regards to your message at 03:14 AM 11-27-97 +0200, Mika Kortelainen.
Where you stated:

I _THINK_ from what I've read, that the 300 DOES need either 2 or 4
identical SIMMs in a bank. It's weird in that the bank pairs are 1&4 or 2&3!
However, never having the pleasure of owning one, I am only going by the
specs and literature as well..

<GAUDET_BAIT> I think Stephen sold some of these, maybe we can drag him
into this discussion. </GAUDET_BAIT>

Cheers,
