I've got a Shuttle HOT-631 PII which needs more memory. I've tried two
256 meg sticks in it. One sdram dimm had 16 chips and only 128 meg was
recognized as I expected. The other dimm had 8 chips and only 64 meg was
recognized on it.
I ram memtest on the first stick and no errors were seen in the first 4
tests of the first pass so it appeared to be ok.
I googled and found one post where a person claimed it would appear to be
alright until the system actually used the memory.
So is it ok to use a dimm even if the full memory is not recognized?
thanks,
