Just for the record, my "old standard" motherboard does allow this, with some limitations. It has 4 simm slots and 2 dimm slots, you cannot use both "slot 1s". In other words, you can use all 4 simm slots and only the 2nd dimm slot, or you can use both dimm slots, but only the 3rd and 4th simm slots. (And, in addition, as I think I mentioned in an earlier post, the dimm slots are limited to 64 MB. each.) (Hmm, now that I think about it, I might have one machine running with both types of RAM. I'll have to do some looking around. If so, I left it that way, so I must have thought it was an improvement. If I can confirm that, I'll write again.) And, I've been told (but don't know for a fact), that if you do use both types of slot, all the memory runs at the speed of the slowest type. I've seen the motherboard with a couple of different brand names, I usually refer to it as a TX-Pro II, oftentimes with a manual that simply says "Mainboard". Randy Kramer
