Sometimes a mobo will be happy with differing modules (speed, whatever) until the OS actually starts hammering it.

[SLUG] Memory module query
Thanks again to James and thanks to Oscar for your replies. The problem is resolved. A torch and a magnifying glass ultimately got me the brand and model of the motherboard. At the manufacturer's website, I got the manual. It told me I could put in anything I wanted (or nothing) in any order I wanted and it would be automatically detected by the BIOS. I removed the module that had been in slot 1 and working for years right up to this morning, when I put a module into slot 2. I put that former slot 1 module into slot 3. Immediately, both modules worked. I don't understand, but am not complaining.

It is REMOTELY possible that memory is damaged by inserting mem module onto a spare slot. Just ensure that your 256MB mem sits properly and firmly on its original slot. Are there any possibilities other than that? It is possible that your BIOS setup knows of the 128MB mem after you inserted the additional module but not the 256MB. That's the beep signal. To fix, just enter BIOS setup after power-on and then exit with save. By entering BIOS setup, the computer will auto-detect the original 256MB memory (128MB should have been removed). Hope this helps. O Plameras -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

You are in the complicated domain of Double/Single sided ram and motherboard idiosynchrasies. RFM is the only way ahead. You MAY be able to use the combo, but you may not. ie it might say SS in slot 1, DS slot 2, slot 3 not allowed (mine did) Ofcourse if both SIMMs are SS this is a load of horse, but I bet the 128 is SS and the 256 is DS. At the end of the day its worth considering a cheap MB as a cheaper way to go.

[SLUG] Memory module query
I have an old computer with 3 DIMM slots. Slot 1 has had in it since I got the computer a 256MB memory module. Its other characteristics, taken from the manufacturer's website, are: un-buffered SDRAM; PC133; 3.3 volts; and 168 pin. Someone gave me another memory module, identical to the first in every respect, except that it's 128MB. This morning, before doing anything with the second module, I ran memtest86 and the first module showed no errors after one pass. I then installed the second module in slot 2 and rebooted. I ran memtest 86 again. It told me I now had only 128MB of RAM, not the expected 384, but showed no errors in the 128MB. I then removed the 128MB module and rebooted. I was met with a persistent beeping, which I took to mean that the computer wasn't recognising the original 256MB module. I then re-installed the 128MB module and rebooted, on which the computer worked properly, but with only 128MB of RAM. I know that one possibility is that I damaged the 256MB module while installing the 128MB module. Are there any possibilities other than that?

Re: [SLUG] Re: Has anyone tried Asterisk?
I would like to use my desktops as phones. That means that my PCs (both windows and Linux) and Notebook Pro will need to be able to answer the call and allow us to talk back. Is what I am planning possible? Not a problem at all. The setup for this can be quite involved - your best bet would be going with a dedicated Asterisk distribution such as Trixbox. It will install a Redhat based OS on a machine (wiping everything else!) with all the asterisk goodies you'll need to get started. www.trixbox.org has all the goodies.
