Granted, it didn't run worth a parachute full of holes at 50,000 feet, but it did boot properly. And as for memory being cheap, as I found out yesterday when I ordered another stick for one of my workstations, the really cheap RAM is stuff specific to VIA chipsets. Thought I'd found a 256 Meg stick for $44... turns out it was closer to twice that after I got gouged for shipping. --- Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: Otter [mailto:otterr@telocity.com] > Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2001 7:14 AM > To: 'Andrew C.
