Older computers in fact do require "two" sims/dims/chips to make up
memory levels.
Most "modern" computers take a single "stick" (module)to achieve any
particular memory level.
Frequently, there are many systems which take "only" two gig of memory
in the form
of two one-gig "sticks" simply because the two-gig stick was either
not available at all,
or because the cost of the memory "stick" was ridiculously high.
The Titanium Mac Book was one such -- it will take a two-gig stick,
but Apple claims it won't
It always pays to check with the memory manufacturer as to what boxes
their memory fits.
I have frequently used S.A. Technologies for Mac memory -- www.satech.com
