Tony,
Could there be a timing problem with the i820 that lets some PC100 RAM work and others not work?

Tony - RE: "What I also saw from that article is complaints about mixing different RIMM vendors' RIMMs on the same board. It has NEVER been a good idea to mix different vendors' DRAMs on the same board. They can foul each other up in such bizarre ways as through noise sent back onto the power bus. Not a good idea, YUK, and not surprising to see bad practices presented there as an Intel problem."

I have never had problems mixing SIMMS or DIMMS made by different manufacturers. Have you?

Tony Viola-RAS, <..mixing different RIMM vendors' ...not surprising to see bad practices presented there as an Intel problem.>

Reading comprehension problem, RAS-expert?

The guy said:
"We tried two 256M Hyundai DIMMs that it didn't like
as all where as two 256 M Hitachi DIMMs worked fine."

Read again: two of THE SAME BRAND. SAME, not
different brand.

No mixing but still a problem. Better find
another excuse.
