I take it you mean 64MB DIMMS <wink>. > I wanted to up the memory and the motherboard Manual indicates that I > can put 4 128 SIMMS into the 4 SIMM slots (also must remove the DIMMS) > as per the Manual (128MB 72pin SIMM EDO (3.3v) 60ns bought memory from > Crucial.com) This will get me to 512 RAM. Why not use 2 256MB DIMMS?

I've had a couple of mobos that supported both SIMMS and DIMMS. The DIMMS always worked better. However, you might check your BIOS settings to make sure that the memory is configured properly. Many BIOS' will let you set timing and other things associated with RAM. Sometimes tweaking these can make a difference. You might also try passing mem=512M on the boot line. -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
