SubjectRe: I need help with RAM (I suspect a problem but ...)

The individual chips on the SIMMs should have id numbers ending
in -70 or -7 for 70ns chips and -60 or -6 for 60 ns chips. I don't
know how you check for EDO vs. regular SIMMS, but I would've
thought your BIOS could detect that.

I found that with my Cyrix 166+ on a SOYO board I had to 'de-tune'
the BIOS setting to 70ns, despite have bought brand new 60ns EDO
SIMMS. Try it and see if it helps.
