From what I glean from the mklinux pages they just don't know why it
doesn't work.  I started in all this with a 715/33 which i rescued from
use as a monitor stand, and I can tell you that it definitely worked
as well as any other HP model with ordinary Linux.

You definitely need pairs.  The Hardware Compatibility List says `HP
workstation RAM SIMMs and DIMMs are not generally identical to those
used in POCs.  Non-HP RAM is not officially supported.' but this is
probably just to scare you.  HP sold kits of 2x4, 2x8, 2x16 and 2x32
MB SIMMs.  If you look on Kingston's website, you can probably find out
more information.
