I've experienced similar issues with PC133 RAM vs. certain computers (I suspect mainboard/chipset/etc. compatibility issues, but I don't know for sure). Various brands and sizes of RAM work fine on some comps, and not at all on others. I'm not sure why that is.
What I can tell you is that I have 2x128MB PC133 sticks I will trade you to test if that still meets your criteria. Sorry I don't have 1x256MB. If all sticks work in all boxes, I'm happy to trade.

Picked up a stick of 256mb, pc133 SDRAM but I am having problems getting it recognised on most machines. On 2 machines it is read as 512mb and seems to boot but will eventually lock the system, often during a big file transfer. On other machines it wont even boot? It has been a long time since I tried to understand memory mapping issues so I am at a loss for this one. Is there a straight forward way to know exactly, based on the MB, if this ram should work? I plugged it in to a machine at the distrbutors and it worked fine and this is the second stick I have tried? If anyone has a 256mb of pc133 that WOULD work and wants to trade since mine might work with your system, I would be happy to deliver. <hr> <b><font color=blue size=4>Open Enterprise Solutions</font></b> <b><font color=red>Linux & Open Source Solutions for Business</font></b> Johnny Stork, BA Calgary, AB Canada <a href="http://www.openenterprise.ca";> www.openenterprise.ca</a> --------------------------------------------------- The Webtop Personal Web-based Email System http://www.yourwebtop.com
