| 193876 | 2003-11-22 11:19:00 | Windiws 9x (inc . ME) has issues with that much ram . IIRC it won't work at all with more than ~768mb of ram . With more than 256MB it will start to have problems when the disk cache exceeds ~256MB . This can be fixed by adding the following to the [vcache] section of \WINDOWS\SYSTEM . INI: [vcache] MaxFileCache=256000 Try it with 512mb (assuming you have 2x512mb sticks) . If that doesn't work, visit http://www . memtest86 . com/ to make sure its not a memory fault . |

| 193878 | 2003-11-22 21:24:00 | use memtest86 to test it in case some modules faulty. if you install oem version of windows over the old one on the hard disk, you may get errors. |

| 193879 | 2003-11-22 22:21:00 | once you have gotten the pc going try cacheman (http://www.outertech.com/), very handy tweaking tool. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 193880 | 2003-11-22 23:07:00 | hmm well the only test i did was to boot the comp and see if the bios could see the ram.. didnt think of checking windoze | bob_doe_nz (92) | ||
