I don't know whether those Corsair DIMMs of yours (both the new and the old pair) are registered or not, but it's worth looking in to if you haven't already. BTW, a general RAM question; I notice you use(d) PC3200 DIMMs, and the mobo is DDR 266MHz (PC2100) - unless it's overclocked... So higher speed DDR DIMMs are generally backwards compatible with lower bus speeds? -- Emanuel Mair ___________________________________________________ e@mair.com Support free hardware choice and save AmigaOS! mair@medstud.gu.se http://AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk .-. .- -.. .. --- -....- .- -.- - .. ...- .. - .-.- - ...-.- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
