DIMMS, however, can generally be mixed and matched, although your MB might be particular about which ones need to be installed in the lower slots.

Hmmm close .. but not quite correct.
RIMM ( RDRAM ) needs to be pluged in pairs.
The old SIMMS were generaly better performong in matching pairs but not REQUIRED..
PC 100 and PC 133 SDRAM most common RAM does not require matching pairs,
and the Latest DDR SDRAM does not need to be in matching pairs.. HOWEVER ; it is always a good idea to use matching pairs
Need to know what your PC is so that we can give you an accurate response!
