Subject: Update: 760ED memory
> Hi Guys and Gals,
>
> Well, perhaps you remember that I posted a little while ago (about a
> month) regarding RAM errors.
>
> Reminder:
> I was trying to add Kingston RAM to my 760ED.
> Several of you kindly offered solutions, such as buying a new
> Apricorn DIMM carrier, since mine was one of the faulty ones IBM
> manufactured.
> I did manage to find this DIMM carrier on Ebay and have it shipped to
> Budapest [I would have preferred to buy from one of you, since you
> helped me! But unfortunately none of you shipped internationally].
>
>
> I have this carrier now, and installed the new Kingston 32Mb RAM and
> the old 24Mb module. Total of 84Mb, past the limit, but allowed
> because of the special carrier.
>
> The 84 Mb _does_ show up on startup.
> BUT I always get a registry error every time the computer starts up!
>
> Then it automatically restarts every time the desktop starts to come
> up.
>
> I switched the higher mem to slot 2, lower into slot 1.
> Still same problem!
>
> With all the new possible configurations, only the one with the
> original RAM and new DIMM carrier works without errors (Total=56Mb).
>
> But the system performance is *exactly* the same. And no memory is
> displayed upon bootup in this last combination, although it *is*
> listed in System Information.

> Could somebody please shed some light on the matter? After spending
> all this money, I'm back to my original carrier and RAM:)
