I tried out what you suggested and here are the
results:

I removed all three 128mb sticks and put in a
32mb
66mhz memory. There was no error message.
I substituted the 32mb memory with a 64mb stick
that I borrowed. Again there was no error
message.
The 32mb stick had 8 chips on each side. The 64mb
stick was marked 100mhz and had 8 chips on one
side and none on the other. The 128mb ram was
pc133 and had 8 chips on one side only as well.

I was unable to run the processor at different
speeds or test the ram with a firmware utility as
suggested coz I don't know how - you will have
guessed by now that I'm a newbie who's already in
way over her head.

Since the computer runs OK, would it be alright
to just turn off the memory check? If it's OK,
would someone please tell me how? I can't find
anything in the BIOS to do this. Thanks.

Cathy
