How many ram sticks do you have, only one?

No, although it would be better if the old one isn't bad. Put it in and
see. You might want to put the RAM sticks in and then pull them out and
in a bit to get rid of any corrosion.

Billy-Boy Gates stated some years ago that nobody needs more than 640K of
memory.

And when he said it, it was true. I bet he isn't saying it now. BTW,
Billy Boy isn't the man in charge any more. It's Steve Ballmer.

No, it most certainly wasn't, and people like you will believe _anything_
that Billy tells them.

I was running mathematical models at the time that simply couldn't be run
with that little of memory, so they were compiled and run on 32-bit systems
such as SunOS. The very numerous "himem" 3rd-party programs to extend the
memory beyond the Billy-mandated 640K barrier were a drain on cpu cycles, as
well as a significant source of additional "bugs" beyond the inherent M$
ones.

OK, you win. It was true for most people and I bet he isn't saying that now.

I hope you mean you
have 1 gigabyte stick
of ram and not a 1
megabyte of ram.

besides smaller mem chips
are not manufactured in
one megabyte increments.
