Hi Madhesh
Check the speed of your SDRAM. You have a Pentium-I M/B which my accept
only
PC-66 MHz RAMs. The RAM which you have bought runs on your friends machine
which is a celeron m/c then the SDRAM is a PC-100 MHz RAM which may not
work on your Petntium-I mother board. Celeron, P-II, P-III mother boards
accept both the RAMS as there system bus speed is of 100 MHz. EDO and SIMMS
both co-exist.
