I thought SDRAM types were DIMMs (dual inline memory modules) and didn't need 
to be paired, as opposed to SIMMs (single inline memory modules) which did.
I might be wrong though.
You need the correct speed for your front side bus, of course.

My motherboard has a 440BX chipset and the manual recommends PC100 168pin 
SDRAM DIMMs.
