I run a dual athlon system with 2 GB, and it has never done anything like that. Have you run memtest86 on your system to verify it isn't a physical memory problem? Are you using registered RAM chips? I seem to remember from my motherboard documentation that registered is required to use more than 2 memory slots. --=20 Zan Lynx --=-ybyrBF7hcRlNgoGek42t Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/lYLmG8fHaOLTWwgRApAsAJ9WhdhdXGsQQ4ZBk5OscL/e1uSBrACgmR8T B+zg1O85S811FPh31wxoZB0= =BuPR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ybyrBF7hcRlNgoGek42t--
