Looks like you have a 64-bit machine (Is the Indigo 1 64-bit? My Indigo
2's are). That means that you need 4 SIMMs to have one bank filled.
So, if you have 4x16MB SIMMs, you have 16MB total memory. If you mixed
different sizes SIMMs, I don't know what it will measure up to, but it
probably won't work well.
My Indigo 2 has two banks of 4x64MB (all SIMMs in a bank are equal,
even of the same brand/type), so I have 128MB RAM. hinv says so, too.

The difference between your legs and your bicycle is
that when they are in bad shape it is unwise to give
your bicycle more training.
