Would anyone here happen to have a (working) Socket A motherboard, or some 168-pin PC100 SDRAM lying around? I have a computer here with a Gigabyte GA-7VT600 board with what I suspect might be bung RAM slots -- when the computer is turned on, it just emits long beeps (BEEEEEP *pause* BEEEEEP *pause* BEEEEEP). Occasionally, if I take the RAM out then put it back in it works, but the next time it's restarted it's back to the beeping again. I tried a stick of RAM from my desktop machine (which has the same model board), and the machine worked fine until restarting it. All the other components in the machine are seem to be fine. As for the PC100 RAM, my parents were given an old HP machine with only 64MB RAM running Windows ME, which is apparently too slow to connect to the Internet via ADSL (or so I've been told). Might be good for playing old games, though (or possibly trying to install Linux on, if I could ever get them to try it). It's upgradeable to 512MB. If all else fails, I can try upgrading my parents' original machine, in which the hard disk either failed or the file system was corrupted; everything else in the machine is apparently also fine. It needed a Windows reinstall anyway; most of the time it could only be turned off by holding the power button down for four seconds, as Windows hung in the shutdown process. Sandy
