Should I RMA the Ram

[Guest]

Hi,
I bought some memory for a friend who has a Gigabyte GA6wmm7 motherboard.
She only has 64mb of ram . I bought Viking 256MB PC100 168pin 8 chip SDRAM
Memory Module .
In her pc it wont even boot, the pc tries and beeps but the monitor wont
switch on (stays in stand by mode yellow light)
If i put it in my old pc it boots up but claims that there is only 128mb.
I tried running super pi in my pc and it said " Not convergent in sqro5"
Does anyone know what that means?
Do i need to change a setting in the bios to make it see the whole of the
ram? normally when i have upgraded on ram it sees it itself.
Using her 64mb ram stick her pc boots up fine. the only difference that i
can see on the memory is hers says 8* 64 and the Viking ram says 32* 64.
would this matter.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Go to www.crucial.com and run their memory test to verify what is compatible
as an upgarde; or read the manual that came with system to verify memory
types.
