On a general basis you will not see any problems mixing them. If you do a memory upgrade and start having program quits, screen freezes, computer restarts and a number of other problems, there is a good chance THAT computer does not like the mix. Problems also can arise if you try to interleave a mix, interleave two different speeds, have some interleaved and some not. That is why the best scenario is to have all memory the same. Same in type (EDO or FPM), speed, and size. This creates very stable memory. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
