Hmmmm.. Thanks for the tips. I've tried the 128MB alone and the 256MB
alone and they both worked. I am pretty sure that the 256 is a 2-sided
chip, as for the 128... I can't remember.
The MB can't be that old. Only a couple of years. It's a celeron
866. Heck... I might just go ahead any get another 256MB and try to
pair them up and see if that works. They're pretty cheap these days.
Thanks again,
Bill
