First pull the 64MB and see if the problem Disappears. (go back to the last configuration that worked.)
Did you miss the big FPM vs EDO conflab ? Most think EDO won't work on your machine. Others claim it is working on theirs, as we speak. Some even claim the EDO Dimms will smoke your mother board. As to speed, I think your unit came with a 70 nano dimm. Michael Macdonald had an excellent post last week with three inforamative sites to learn "More Than You Ever Wanted to Know About DIMMS and Were Afraid To Ask." Me thinks, I have too many other non compliant issues to add to my woes by increasing the complexity of my computer world ... so I plan to err on the side of caution. No EDO Dimms for grouchy ole RHB This @#$%& PowerLogix G4 board has made my PTP dead in the water. ********************** Ottman wrote: > > Hey folks, > > I just added a 64 MB module to my Powerbase 180.
