memory problem

[Jeff McCright]

Do you have any SIMMs installed as well as the DIMMs? If so, remove all SIMMs.
Make sure you are using a quantity of 2 64MB 15 nanosecond unbuffered 3.3 volt
66 megahertz SDRAM DIMMS. These DIMMs should have 8 chips on each side
of the DIMM. If you are working with 4 chip per side DIMMs, it is hit or miss as to whether
they will work.

You might check with:

	Overland Park, KS  66212

and ask for Victor (Owner & very knowledgeable)

I hope this helps.

BTW: 66 Mhz DIMMs are real hard to find these days....

Thanks,

Actually this sounds like it might be it.  I haven't got far enough to
worry about whether Linux sees the memory -- the BIOS never does.  I yanked
out one of the 64MB sticks and now it sees 16MB.   (Down from 32Mb with (2)
64's.)  Weird eh?
