trick: be confident enough to apply enough force to get the thing into the slot and the clips to pop into position. be timid enough not to crack the DIMM in half. i like to call it using "gentle force". also, be aware that DIMMS have a notch that prevents you from installing them backwards. if it doesn't go in with "gentle force", make sure you have the DIMM notch aligned with the boss (the opposite of a notch) inside the DIMM slot. pete _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
