Well, BIOS configuration doesn't involve internal surgery, you know.

Replacing RAM is not that big of a deal, but if you want to take advantage of the manufacturer's warranty, then I guess it doesn't really matter. And James' point that the problem may be on the mainboard is a possibility, though it's an outside one, given how few addresses exhibited problems. Mainboard problems are likely to affect broad swathes of addresses based on the failure of particular address line or lines. Data-line failures would probably affect all addresses, But in either of those cases the machine probably wouldn't even pass its power-on self-test (POST). > Thanks > > > Peter Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
