Hi All I earlier tried to put a 512 RAM stick in a Wallstreet, I put
it in the top slot, the machine booted OK but Profiler sh owed it to
be a 256. Is there a way to cheat this? Also I noticed that the
processor got real hot, but maybe that was my imagination, except it
felt like it may burn my finger. I this an indication of a poor
hardware choice or improper slot selection?
Wallstreets max out at 2 x 256Mb. I couldn't even get that far when I
tried it, IIRC it choked on 2 256Mb SO-DIMMs. It works okay with 256 + 128.
The bigger memory shouldn't cause heating. More likely the heatsink
didn't connect properly on re-assembly. Make sure you renew the thermal
compound.
