Hi again, (Thanks for replying, John.) I ran Memtest86, and there're 290 errors that showed up from test 7. But the thing that I don't understand is, if I use either of the RAM modules alone, Linux loads and runs perfectly for as long as I've tried; Could it possibly be a problem with something besides the RAM (e.g. motherboard, CPU)? And I still don't know if my RAM setup is even supported by Linux -- I'm guessing that it is though (?). ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Bradford" <john@grabjohn.com> To: "Brien" <admin@brien.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2003 11:11 AM Subject: Re: my dual channel DDR 400 RAM won't work on any linux distro > > I have a Gigabyte SINXP1394 motherboard, and 2 Kingston 512 MB DDR 400 (CL > > 2.5) RAM modules installed.
