I have a 2-socket LC630 or Q630 motherboard that I was thinking of
upgrading.. I read somewhere that they would only accept 64 + 16. I guess
that is wrong? What sort of SIMMs are yours? Can you tell me the chip
count or the chip part codes? I've seen some 72 pin, 64 MB, DEC SIMMs on
ebay of late, but I didn't feel confident enough to buy some.

That sucks. Was this the 630? I'd be curious to see your xorg.conf and
xorg.0.log (not that I would know how to fix it, I just wanted to compare
with ljmoore's...)
