I gather you have a 256MB RAM card; have you tried removing the 64MB card and putting the 256MB card in the slot the 64MB card was in? I have a Lombard CPU card which was giving me lots of trouble until I noticed that one of the contacts in the upper RAM slot was damaged; RAM in the lower slot

1) the RAM. The original was PC-66. The new is PC-100. Maybe PC-133 would cure it?I called Crucial and they were really helpful - they have sold about 100 modules for that model and had 3% returns, they are sure it is ok. They were adamant the PC-133 would not help. I don't think
