-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I've got my ram issues solved sort of. I decided to try each of my ram modules by themselves again. Low and behold, when I install the 256 module by itself in each dimm socket, the system tells me I've only got 127Mb of ram available. I know I said that I tried the 256 module by itself, and had the system report the full size, but I only did that test once, and I've been known to hear something different if I want to hear it badly enough, as opposed to hearing what I'm really supposed to be hearing. I then went and tried the 256 module in my other box, and that board picks up the full size just fine. Now, I'm not hearing things this time, because I powered the box off and then on about 5 times, and still had it report the full ram size. Also, feeling the module, I notice that there are chips on one side of it, and the other side is blank. So, my guess is that the older board in my server expects to find up to 128M on one side of the module, and 128M on the other side of the module, thus allowing me to place 256M modules on the board. Thanks to all those who offered help and suggestions, this list is great, and us helping each other out is what makes it so.
