Can xp handle over 1 gig of ram ???
XP will handle up to 4 GB of RAM. Sounds like you've got timing errors with
a cheap stick of RAM. -- DaveW "We Live For The One We Die For The One" wrote in message news I just ask this as i have two 512 megs of Crucial Dimms. I had an extra 256meg dimms branded Exlixir. So i ponked the extra dimm in and it @*(*(@*(@*@ up. Any how i booted up with that and i got a memory error ?? and then a message saying i had missing files ? Could not even bootup in safe mode Anyway lucky i have a 6 gig Partition just for windows so not alot was lost as i needed to reformat, prob could have fixed it but its been a long while since i reinstalled, good time for a clean up i thought. Anyway anyone got some answers please let me know. Thanks. |

You normally can't just shove anything into any slot. P4s will run even slower than they are ;-) with current crop of DIMMs and +1GB. So until your application performance will actually benefit a lot from +1GB, or you can put in two symmetric 1GB DIMMs, don't bother. ancra |
