Re: [PLUG] memory (was ¨update strategies/partition issue¨)

OK. Looks like the ¨m¨ in Deskpro EXm stands for ¨micro-tower¨. The recommended memory according to the site is

   133MHz Non-ECC SDRAM DIMM

What I got from Crucial is

   256MB 168-pin DIMM 32Mx64 SDRAM UNBUFF

Is ¨Non-ECC¨ the same as ¨UNBUFF¨?

No, but it doesn't matter. See if you can borrow a PC66 module for a test. I bet it will work.

Compaq refused to answer my question regarding the BIOS update incompatibility problem as my warranty expired in Feb. Smells bad to me. This is the first Compaq I have owned. Nothing but compatibility problems. Other purchases have either been built-in-store or Gateway. Gateway -- if I asked -- would still answer questions on a 1992 model 486 -- but I don't ask because it never has problems -- unlike the Compaq.

My usual opinion is that Compaq sucks. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
