It would certainly be interesting if you could substitute the two 128 MB DIMMs with two 64 MB DIMMs.
That might help determine whether your problem indeed lies with the DIMMs. If so, you would want to decide whether to try different 128 MB DIMMs, or throw in the towel and get four 64 MB instead. Does anyone have insight/opinion as to whether the TechTool Pro RAM test actually detects problem RAM? I'm also curious whether your PCP behaves better off the network. On our network, there is one particular server that, when I'm connected to it, my machine seems to slow to mush. The server itself (a G3 B&W) is pretty mushy, too; it can take five or 10 seconds just for the folder icons that are on the machine to appear. Perhaps its hard drive is overloaded, or it's badly fragmented; whatever, as soon as I disconnect from that server, my machine works well again. At any rate, it would seem that you need to identify whatever existing problem you have before adding a processor upgrade; your 249 Mhz processor ought to handle most duties pretty well ordinarily. --Chuck on 5/28/02 4:11 PM, Ted Mishima at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > The thread regarding 128 meg dimms being a problem with Power Center Pro > 240's is interesting to me because I am having lots of problems with > applications freezing up on me.
