I have a Redhat 9 system. I installed the system on a 128 MB Pentium III and the system was very slow. I then installed an additional 128 MB of memory and the system behaved much more responsively. The problem I have now is that the system has become unstable. Periodically, it seems when the system is under heavy memory load, the system will just reboot.
I suspect that the problem is with the memory since sometimes after a crash the system will report only 128 MB of RAM available. I have tried reseating the memory into another slot but that has not solved the problem. Is there any log file or some other debugging aid that would tell me if the memory is really the problem? Is it possible that this is because there is a mismatch between the two memory banks? The first 128 MB came with the machine when I bought it a few years ago and I don't know if it is PC-100 or PC-133. The new 128 MB is definitely PC-133. The person I bought the memory from said that it shouldn't matter since the faster memory would just run slower but he is not at all Linux literate. I want to ask for the memory to be exchanged but I want to have all the facts before I do that.
