The original 32Mb sticks were in the number 1 and 2 slots, and I put the 128 PC133 stick in the 3rd slot. It ran, but auto-rebooted all the time. Pain in the butt. However, the other day, I took them all out, and fitted the 128 in the number 1 slot, and the others in the 2 and 3 slot. All is sweet now; so try it if you have trouble. Bye.. Richard.	Guest (0)
