256 MB sticks are especially tricky in terms of timings and quality. It isn't
surprising to find 256 MB modules fail on one board and pass on another brand.
Almost all of the original Corsair 256 MB modules failed after a few months of
operation. This qualty issue was common with many other brands too.

##I've been told by local computer techs that if your bios sees the ram at
