>From Motorola technical information pamphlet page 12. StarMax systems have three slots for memory modules(or DIMMs). The computer will work with a number of different memory configurations,from a minimum of 16Mb to a maximum of 160MB. Follow these guidelines when configuring your system's RAM: � DIMM slots can accept 16,32,and 64 MB DIMMS � All DIMMS must be 168-pin,3.3V unbuffered extended data out(EDO), 60 nanosecond RAM accsess time or faster. Slower DIMMs will not work reliably. SIMMs or DIMMs from Macintosh computers may not be compatible. � The DIMM slot marked "single bank" can accept a 16MB or 32MB, single bank DIMM, as installed at the factory. The remaining DIMM slots, marked "dual bank", can accept any single or dual bank of size 16MB, 32MB, or 64MB. NOTE: 64MB DIMMs must use 11-bit row address(2 KB refresh) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >From MemoryX web site>> ***Double banked dimm may be physically single sided or double sided. The banking is electrically single sided." So don't get side tracked ! Try pull all dimms and reseat them. Be sure your new dimms meet above specs. bluej __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
