They don't necessarily have to be matched in size but I recall that there can be problems when combining different manufacturers and/or speeds. Especially with earlier modules installed in the first series of 1400s (ie. the 117MHz machines). Later releases tended to be more compatible. I had a PB1400/133 that worked perfectly with a combination of 32MB + 16MB modules. The 16MB module was installed when the 1400 was new and I purchased the 32MB when the 1400 was about 3 years old. Even at the time I bought the 32MB module I was sweating it out wondering if it would work when I got it. I lucked out It's likely that if you order a 16MB module from the same place it will work with the 32MB you purchased. However if you can return the 32MB and buy two 24MBs that would be a better solution. A 48MB would be best but very expensive. Basically it seems to be a crap shoot as to whether old and new modules will work together. -makmac -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
