[PLUG] Them memory upgrade blues

[Charles R Allen]

Hi... I have a problem with some memory I just bought.  The current
memory is a single pc100 128mb strip.  I purchased a pc133 256mb strip
and put it in one of my free memory slots.  My bios did not have any
problems finding the memory and correctly displayed my current memory in
the upper 300's.... <big grin>  I was a little surprised the pc133 and
pc100 mixed.  But when I tried to boot linux, it did not boot correctly,
stopping right after the cpu initialization, I'm not sure of the exact
step (I boot off a floppy).  I tried booting into w2k off my hard drive
and it didn't like my new memory either.. it just said "something is
wrong, please remove the problem" (more or less)...   I then tried
putting in the 256 mb strip alone to see if perhaps.the pc100 and pc133
did not mix as well as I had hoped.... same problem... Could there be a
bug in the memory strip itself?   any comments would be helpful!

thanks,
