Did you try an ISA video card? Some systems will use that slot first without changing jumpers or bios. Some things to try as a last resort. 1.Clean contacts with eraser and rubbing alcohol. 2.Try putting the memory in the freezer for awhile. 3.Take a soldering iron and reheat the solder joints. If all these fail drink some alcohol :) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
