Hi Again

I have purchased 3 x 256MB sticks of PC133 memory to replace my 2 x 64MB sticks of PC100 memory, but my PC will not boot up with this new memory. What am I doing wrong ? Do I need to change something within the BIOS or somehow tell my PC that it has new memory at a different speed? if so how do I change these settings/parameters ? I thought it would be easy, just take out the old memory and just slot in the new one. I assumed the PC would just recognise it and go... Please help..

The new modules have chips with too high mbit capacity per chip. Buy older ones with more chips.

This is a cpu-related forum, no hardware forum.

Moved to newly created Hardware/Software forum so it's no longer offtopic.

Thankyou. I sent these modules back and bought Kingston PC133 256Mb with 8 chips and these were recognised immediately, no hassle. thx Hughsie30
