I think my motherboard has a short in one of the second set of memory DIMM sockets. It's an old socket 939 board and I was looking for the cheapest possible solution to add extra memory. I plan to upgrade my PC in a few months and my current system will end up as a backup so I don't want to invest much.
I was curious about some of the PCI based memory boards/cards. I had some questions and I was hoping that someone familiar with them could answer. Do the cards have to use the same type of memory as the motherboard (DDR, pins, etc.)? Could I use varying pairs of capacity strips on the card (ex.- two 256mb strips and two 1gb strips)?
Thanks...John

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+ GHZ
MEMORY: 2 X 1GB DDR1 400MHz - PC3200 - 184PIN (Non-ECC high density) RAM
