i've been running 8MB of ram via 8 1mb sticks for some time now and have been wanting to upgrade to my MB max ram of 32mb for some time now. i recently found affordable 4mb sticks here
http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_memory-information/DM13_013.asp
so i bought 4 sticks. once they arrived i plaaced them in the pc, booted up fine and detected 16mb of ram. happy that this worked i orded anouther 4 sticks and they arrived today. after placeing all the ram i got a few beeps on startup, it detects the full 32mb and then.
"CMOS memory size mismatch" also when you hit F1 to continue i get
on board parity error
addr (hex) = 0000:0002)
system halted
i tried to enter the bios by hitting delete on bootup but it won't enter bios settings and i get a keyboard error message, i tried 2 diffrent keyboards with the same effect.
so thinking it was an issue with the extra ram i removed 16mb back down to the working 16 i had but i had the same error. the only way i can get it to run now is going back to the 8mb of ram useing my 8x1mb sticks. ive tried reseating the ram several times to no effect. im sure when i origionally switched over to 16mb via 4x4mb sticks it worked for me so i don't know why even that config won't now. i even tried pulling the battery to reset the cmos but nothing. any help? i would love to get my 32mb in this thing.
