(solved) Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The DIMM was indeed a 64Mb. For some undocumented reason, it was recognized as 64Mb in the third DIMM slot, but only 16Mb in the first and second DIMM slots. Thanks to those who replied. Ken ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 4 Apr 1999 14:47:57 -0700 (PDT) From: K. Marsh To: q's Subject: How to ID DIMMs? This isn't FreeBSD related, but I don't know where else to direct this question. Any help is greatly appreciated. I have a DIMM here. According to the vendor, it's a 8x64 (64Mb) SDRAM. My motherboard docs don't list 64Mb RAM as an option, but I downloaded the latest Flash BIOS and manual, and the new manual does list 64Mb DIMMS as an option. I flashed in the BIOS with no problem, but the DIMM is found to be a 16Mb DIMM, not the 64Mb I paid for. The DIMM has 8 chips on it, all on same side, and each is marked by MK5264805T-10 98475. Made in Taiwan. My motherboard is an Acubit AX5, Intel 430TX, Award BIOS. Is it possible that the vendor sent me a 16Mb DIMM by mistake? Thanks again. Kenneth J.
