re: Question about 'Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM)' Thursday, November 1, 2001 at 11:13 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Techtony (83 messages posted) It's IBM's weird mem config on their old PC's. While most old PC's had pairs of SIMMS in equal mem amounts, IBM had a master two-sided SIMM. (Check your case to see if you have an odd number of SIMM's.) Usually the master SIMM would be equal to the total of SIMM's 2 and 3, and come from the factory that way, but your old PC may have been worked on and has 8,8, and 8. Window's DMI (device manager interface) is not prepared to detect that config and registers an erroneous amount.
