It's Kingston memory, 2x1G. I don't know whether the system requires
both chips to operate, but when I bought the machine they were first
talking about 2x512K, and when I suggested that 2G would be more
appropriate, they went to 2x1G. 1x1G was never discussed.
I'll have to look for and *find* the motherboard manual to find out
just what configurations it accepts, and what switches or BIOS
paraneters I'll have to set.
Things would be so much easier if the store I bought it at hadn't gone
out of business last February, "unable to compete with the big box
stores".
