- Well, I just upgraded my memory quite recently. What most of the people
- told me is that mixing 3 chips and 9 chips is ok, as long as they are in
- different banks. If you put 3 and 9's in the same bank, there might be
- a problem because the the computer might try to register them in two
- different ways.
