You did put 192 rather than 196. I presume your bios was saying 196000 kb, in which case you have got to divide by 1024.

I'm no expert, but I think mixing 66mhz dimms and 100mhz dimms is asking for trouble, as the motherboard will be running them at different speeds. > plz anyone help!! > > AJ > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
