But, when you say 2nd 128mb, does that mean you have two of the same 
size sticks?  This is my concern.

I'm not so much concerned with the static issue as I do deal with that 
appropriately.  As noted in a previous email link, the motherboard does 
not provide substantial support around the memory slot area, so my 
concern is the torque on the board.  Just the same, I'll likely attempt 
to swap them once I have time.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
