After some experimentation, a PC100 DIMM was found to be better suited for a 66MHz memory bus in another machine, who obligingly donated a DIMM in return that actually works with a 100MHz bus. I think the trip from Australia and this Texas heat finally pushed the dodgy one over the edge. Stephen -- The views expressed above are not those of PGS Tensor.
