800Mhz Duron with 64Mb RAM runs quite Windows 2000 Professional quite slowly
but stably... (This was an upgrade from Me)

....and then goes to pieces with an extra 128 Mb DIMM (133 Mhz ) module.!
Windows boots up quicker, the PC recognises the extra memory, but just so
much as look at it in a funny way and the system crashes.

Is there something subtle I'm missing?

Many thanks,

Gavnosis

You probably have a defective or incompatible RAM module. Another problem
may be that the faster module is in the first bank, which may set the system
speed for all RAM modules to the speed of the faster module. This will not
work for your older RAM that came originally with the system. Try running
with only the new 128MB module, and see if you continue to have problems.
Unless you can find a setting in the system CMOS that will set the module
speeds separately, you may have to replace one of your memory modules.

Mike,

Not the answer I would've have preferred, but everything is nice and stable
now I've found another 100MHz card.
Thanks for taking the time to answer.

look at newly intalled Ram is compital with bus

Thanks for reporting the resolution back to the group.

You may have a bad momory module. diffenent speed memory
can cause problems. try using just the newly added piece
and see if that changes the stability. it could be a
speed problem or a quaility problem.
