Re: Probles with RAM detection IBM TP600

Hi All, thank you for all your hints. Unfortunately the problem could not be solved, when I try to specify the amount of memory as a boot-Option, the system will not start at all. I have returned the memory and I think I will work with 92 MB mem in future ;o) Greetz, Andre -- Andre Timmermann

I had similar problem. with Dual 128MB modules. It's a density issue with the RAM modules. Thinkpads are very sensitive to the type of RAM you put in. You need to use *REAL* 66Mhz RAM.kingston.com Sells the exact modules you need. Unfortunately, they are expensive. Look on Ebay or pric
