Can different size memory chips be used on the same mobo?

Just wondering if it would be possible to add a 128mb RAM chip to my mobo that already has 2 32mb chips.

Thanks,
BG

I'm sorry I'm not real technical, but could you explain what TwinMos and NCL stands for?

They're different ram brands.

My config is 1 128MB TwinMos, 1 64MB NCL, 1 64MB TwinMos

Yes you can but there are certain restrictions. FOr example if you have 2 sticks that can only run cas3 but your 3rd stick can run cas2 you must still run all three at cas2. Generally there should be no problems though. SOmetimes compatiblity issues do arise between different brands or if you are overclocking with more than 2 dimm slots filled but agian generally you should be fine.
