Hi Folk,

The HP Pavilion 8800 comes with 64M SDRAM memory as standard
Speed 100 MHz synchronous Sockets Two 168-pin DIMMs
Size 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 MB DIMMs
Sockets Two 168-pin DIMMs Pairs Required No
Type Supported SDRAM, 100 MHz, Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification,
revision 1.0 compliant

As this is for someone in the bush can they mix that 68M with a 128 or a
256M

Anyones help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation Regards
Ken

Ken,

this group is for questions related to the HP-UX OS and occasionally the
RISC or IA-64 hardware that supports it. The HP Pavilion is a PC produced by
HP, but not in the least related to this forum.

You'll have better luck in a PC-related group...

That being said, you've answered your own question:

> Sockets Two 168-pin DIMMs Pairs Required No

That is indicating that you don't need to maintain pairs of DIMMs, which
usually indicates they also don't need to be of the same size.

Kevin

Thanks Kevin -- I thought so, but I now know how a vet feels - Woof or Meow
can't answer questions - Kindest regards and sincere thanks -- enjoy the
rest of the weekend Ken

Since I don't know what "ex VK9ZC" means, I assume not I realized a long
time ago that "Kevin Collins" is a really common Irish name, even adding
Michael as a middle name won't reduce the common-ness of it much

Thanks Kevin, The other Kevin Collins was a Radio Amateur on Willis Island
(a Met Station off the Queensland coast) -- I used to speak to him daily or
thrice daily sometimes --as I was a Radio Amateur too. His call was VK9ZC VK
= Australia 9 denoting an Australian State or Territory and ZC was Willis
and C he was the third to operate from there

Mine was VK
3 = Victoria
AH -- as I took over a deceased persons call though I got my licence in
1954 --

Incidenally got that memory on Sunday and it is well on its way to
Mallacoota.

Thanks again -- trusting the explanation makes sense! Regards Ken
