Two reasons: either the RAM is in fact physically impaired, or the RAM is mismatched in some way. Could be the speed or the refresh rate. As I remember it, an 8500 doesn't need matched sets of quantity (as in matched 64 meggers in pairs of slots) but the speed or refresh rate could be a factor. My guess is that the RAM is just deficient. ===== Rondo __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
