Default Armada e500 PIII 650 memory upgrade

I just replaced one of my SODIMMS with a generic 256mb chip. The Armada
recognizes all of the memory and adjusts the bioswhen it boots up. When XP
goes to start it complains that the pci.sys file is missing or corrupt.
When I put back both of the 64mb chips it works fine. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Mark

Yeah, keep the generic junk out of your computer unless saving a few
dollars is worth ruining your system board
