Mike,

The easiest way to determine if the SIMMs are bad is to pull them
out. If the computer completes POST without the memory in,
replace the memory. If it does not, replace the mb. There are
some diagnostic cards like the R.A.C.E.R. that will test some
extended memory - the version I have is limited to the first 16M
- this is good to determine which module is bad. Unfortunately,
most computers now have SIMMs or DIMMs that are larger than
16....
