Are you sure the RAM is good? A lot (10%) of the RAM I've bought lately, is DOA, and I need to return it. Of course, I always buy parity memory, so the server simply tells me what the problem is, rather than a mysterious panic. Also, how chips are on the 64MB SIMMs? Most motherboards can only handle SIMMs with 24 chips or less, but every time I've ordered 64MB SIMMs, I gotten unusable SIMMs. On large memory configurations, ALWAYS use parity RAM. > Thank you, > Gunnar Tom
