I want to add 8MB of SIMM memory to a 4000LX which currently has 2MB on the motherboard and a 0-K memory expansion board with 8 empty slots. I have two questions: 1) The 2MB on the motherboard is made up of 8 256kB chips. Can I mix the 256kB and 1MB chips and just put the 8 1-MB chip on to the expansion board (to get a total of 10 Meg)? Or must I junk the 256kB chips and replace them with the 1-MB chips (to get a total of 8 Meg)? 2) Radio Shack is selling the 8MB 80ns expansion memory (Part # 2551-33) at an outrageous price of $6000! Other chip vendors are advertising prices of under $1500. Is Radio Shack really so out of touch with reality or are these other vendors on the level? - Paul -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul H.
