I'll be honest & say that *as a guess* one of two things will happen with your desired 512 mb's of ram: a) the comp will puke & refuse to boot. or b) the comp will boot fine, and you'll be happy. General & Vague I know but i've had some experience with 200mz Pentiums. I've found in general that is the case. In one case I had ot remove one of the simms (or was it a dimm?) because I knew that although the memory was good, the BIOS wouldn't go higher than 256Mb of Ram. NO matter what I did, it just threw up & gave plaintive little beeps :( -- Femme Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
