Anyone know anything about "piggy backing" memory chips?

[JMI]

Hello,

Anyone know anything about "piggy backing" memory chips? Quite sometime ago
I vaugely recall reading something about being able to stuff more memory
into your motherboard, but I haven't heard much about that since. Is
something like that even possible with Pentium III & IV motherboards?

Thanks,


Jeff.

I assume you are talking about "risers" which allowed multiple chips to be
plugged into a single mobo slot- no, there is no such thing anymore. On the
plus side, memory modules (256mb, even 512mb) that are affordable today
would have been unheard of or so expensive that you could not have even
thought of buying them.

There *are* actual "piggy backed memory chips" to consider...
