Re: RAM upgrade?

[Marco Calviani <mirtux@studenti.fisica.unifi.it>]

Hi Alan,
 thank you very much for your help. With dmidecode i realized that i 
have two banks of 256 each of DDR RAM. Do you know if it's possible to 
leave one bank of 256 MB and install in the other a bank with different 
size (let's say 512 MB or 1 GB)?

Thanks again,
MC
