Given that I had the problem on two motherboards, and they went away when I

Ron,
Cards are easier to deal with than sockets. If the problem moved from
board to board with the moving of the cache stick, yes, it is likely that the
problem is with that RAM stick itself. So try this before the Stabilant22.
Assuming that the motherboards are fine with other cache.
Ron,
Treat unreliable connections with Stabilant22. It can work magic, as
long as the problem is in the sockets and not broken contacts in the
multi-level motherboard beneith them [see below for how to test]. TV
radiofrequency contacts, high end stereo, computers, any low voltage
My thanks to all who helped, Frankenstein has woken up again and is
working;
Took the MB that supported 4 banks of memory, put on it the fastest CPU,
and apart from a flaky cache RAM-stick and having to juggle PCI boards
around to get them to work, no problem.
I can now wade through 1200
Thanks to the kind and useful advice gratefully received from many listers,
I'm about to do a complete brain transplant;
I'll be back online as soon as Frankenstein wakes up again ;-)
Thanks again,

Besides the obvious suggestion of getting a new machine (110 bogomips is
quite slow, but if it suits your needs then stick with it), I suggest you use
the 99.9 bogomip machine and upgrade it to 128Mb. There are several reasons
for this. Firstly, bogomips are not really a good indicator of
Another question, now that I'm commited to completely reassemble my desktop.
I have two HDs, one CD reader and a CD ROM writer.
Which is the best plan ?
Put both HDs on the same channel, and the CDs on the other, or put the HDs
as masters on each channel, and the CDs as slaves ?
TIA,

I cannot, because the 110 bm motherboard seems to have a fault, doe not

IDE channels are not multi-tasking, so only one drive can be accessed at a
time on one channel. I have 2 HDDs, a CD-ROM and a CD-RW drive. I have put my
fastest and largest HDD (larger is usually faster) as the primary master. My
other HDD is the secondary master. Fast hard drive access for me
