Samsung lists 256M byte RIMMS as validated, I presume with 16 chips. The max memory situation is the same with either 2 or 3 slots. What am I missing?

Tench, If that's a possible workaround, I'd be relieved. Most PCs don't come with more than 128 MB of RAM. 256 MB can be rather limiting for those who use applications which can really benefit from RDRAM, but it's better than nothing, and it can abet the impact until the problem can be permanently fixed. These are supposed to be the best of the best machines. If youa re going to pay through the nose for a box with RDRAM in it, it better support gigs of RAM. People that need or even really want these boxes are by and large SERIOUS users, running CAD tools, etc. 256MB is NOT enough. I will be willing to bet no one would buy after seeing a memory max of 256MB, even if they only need 64. Steve
