I'm 99% certain that you can't use anything bigger than 64MB (at least a 128MB Cpq Armada SODIMM that I had wouldn't work in any of the 15xx machines I tried it in - that included a 1580). I'm not sure how interchangeable they are. --=20 Peter Jeremy --Qgof7w7UksPF5inF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFE8W9H/opHv/APuIcRAtYOAJ4k+WOeJQt76xRkrEX4XWB3na1iJwCgsADP +0yviBwanTFM3TI3YSY/Z0w= =9fvn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Qgof7w7UksPF5inF--
