My 2c: If you're going from having 1 dimm to 2, check your BIOS to see if there's a setting called something like "Speculative Read", and if it's turned on, turn it off. You may also want to try tweaking other options in there to more conservative settings (but only test things one at a time). -- Bob | It's pretty good, if you don't think about it.
