Most motherboards have a certain amount of RAM it will support. A lot of
them stop at 1.5 GB. The one I have does support 2 GB. But you should
check the web page for the Motherboard and find out if that board will
support the 2GB
All I know is I'm jealous... 1.5 GB and a dual processor machine? :0(
That would be SWEET!!!
One other thing I just thought of, which most likely won't be an issues,
but I know Comcrap (lol) used to only accept proprietary RAM. I'm
pretty sure the did away with this, but I'm not sure how old your
Motherboard is either.
So it's possible that it doesn't support 2 GB of RAM, or it needs to be
RAM from Comcrap.
Extremely jealous,

| Hi everyone,
|
| I have a problem with adding RAM that I hope someone can help me with.
|
| We have a Compaq SP750 (dual P3 866 Xeon) that had 1.5GB of RDRAM. When we
| added another 512MB to bring the total up to 2GB, the LM7.1 installed on the
| machine refuse to boot. It gets to the place where it's suppose to load the
| RAM disk (I think) but go into kernel panic: unable to mount root. We tried
| just putting in 1792MB of RAM, then the machine boots up w/o any problems.
| Anyone has any idea why?
|
| TIA.

| Andy
