Thanks, that makes sense.. trouble is the Manual I have does not indicate the voltage for either the DIMM or the SIMMs.. I'll check the FIC website and see if there is more info on this..
I'll try the 511 suggestion tomorrow.. (got to earn some money first..<G>)

Correct... mem=512M ... (fingers getting behind brain...)some system setups have a tendancy to eat up to 1MB of extra memory,
on such systems the solution is to use mem=XXXM where XXX is 1MB less
then what you have, so in your case mem=511M . I have encountered this
with certain bios setups too(I forget which bios option(s) do this but
have seen the behavior change back to "normal" after tweaking the bios)
also I reccomend checking your MB manual again to be sure your memory
is the right voltage. Some boards use 5V simms with 3.3V dimm sockets
which is why they reccomend against mixing SIMMS & DIMMS because the
5V simm voltage channel can(eventually/potentially) damage the lower
voltage DIMMS (thats at least how one of my board manuals explains it,
I think it's a AOpen AP5T-3 running a P200MMX).
If I remember your original email right you mentioned using 3.3V
simms ..
just a thought or 2 ..
