You have to disable the onboard 64MB to get the 256MB stick to work. No ifs, ands or buts. And that's as much RAM as any 240X or 240Z will ever accept.

It is a 500Mhz P3 and it has 192MB RAM (64MB + 128MB). I still cannot find confirmation that a 240X can take 320MB (64MB + 256MB). If it does, it would need to be a low density one. However, these are not cheap and I dont want to go and by one if it isnt going to work. I have a good quality 512MB stick here, that I used in a Mac PowerBook - which are very fussy about RAM. I popped it in my ThinkPad just out of curiousity. The BIOS registered the machine as having 256MB, but XP and Mint wouldn't boot. It is a PC133 stick. Can anyone confirm whether a low density 256MB PC100 stick will work in a 240X?
