Sounds to me like you have a bad PC133 RAM module. The OS, be it Win,
Linux, BeOS, whatever, doesn't care about what speed your memory
is. That's strictly a hardware issue. So, like I said, either the RAM
module is bad or your motherboard and your PC133 stick have some
compatibility issue.

PC133 RAM doesn't work with Slink!?!

Hey,

I'm still using 2.1 (If 2.2 does come out like it 
is expected to (today), I will buy it), and I'm trying to install it on my new 
computer. I've switched out various parts of my machine (Hard-drive, 
CD-ROM, etc), Because it gives me weird memory errors/addresses when I try to 
install. I finally switched my 64 MB PC133 RAM for my dad's PC100, and now 
I can install. Is there a way to get this ram working in slink, and more 
importantly, will it work in potato?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson

Chances are, its not slink problem, its your computer. Do you have any
other OSs running on it, and if so, how are they working out? As a
test..try installing with PC100 and switch to PC133. Is Your motherboard
suitable for those RAM chips? You may want to get the RAM chips tested
too, to eliminate problem in them.
