Is it true that if you have a motherboard with DDR, you have to fit it with at least 2 modules? For example, 512 MB would be 2x 256 MB.
I am asking this, because every computer I've seen fitted with DDR, has 2 memorymodules.

I have never heard of that and know of at least two computers with only one stick of DDR that work just fine. I prefer to have two sticks or more for one reason. Last week a stick of my Crucial PC2100 died on me. Had I only had one stick I would be dead in the water. Because I had two sticks I am still up and running while I wait for the RMA.
 
I know a few computers with 1 stick that run fine.
For instance, before, I had one 512MB DDR module, now I have two, adding up to 1 Gigabyte.

My other computer has 1 also.

Although I agree, if your Ram goes bad somehow; best to have a back up avaliable.
 
Sure thing Glaanieboy :)

Now I need to post and ask how to connect my Super Nintendo/ my loaned PS2 to my computer; so it shows up on my display; without one of those VGA box thingers :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
