Thanks Mark,
Thats what I thought, unfortunately. The machine in question was my
dev
machine, but is being 'upgraded' to being a server for a small 3
machine
LAN.
It needs to run cf5server and W2k server, so I think needs more than
512Mb,
so I guess I am looking at a motherboard upgrade, which I certainly
will not
be scrimping on. Of course, the other option is to buy a new.
specially
spec'd, machine, but I think that may be overkill at the moment.
Anyway, thanks again for your reply

Check your motherboard manual for specific RAM configurations. In
general,
I think you can safely assume that if your motherboard is over 2
years old,
it most likely won't support 1GB of RAM because 512MB chips we pretty
hard
to get and were very expensive then. Now they're going for about
$150 or
less at Fry's.
If you need a new motherboard, don't go cheap. Get the board that
has the
greatest expandability options. I recomend Intel chipsets. IWILL
boards
are awesome. I would recommend an IWILL board with SCSI adapters
built in.
You'll end up paying about $500 for the board, but you'll be able to
do a
lot more and you'll be able to use it much much longer vs. a cheap
board
that you'll likely have to replace in less than 2 years.

Totally OT, so apologies. I notice that alot of people talk about
having 1GB
RAM.
Well, I bought 512Mb more today, went to fit it, and then, after lots
of
muckinf about, discovered that my motherboard only supportd upto
512MB RAM.
Is this normal? Is my only way around this to buy a new motherboard?
This is
another world to me, but some of you clever people out there might
know.
TIA
Will
