Ok, a customer of mine wants to add RAM to his system. He's currently got a stick of 128MB PC100 RAM in there. He's running ME and it is a Dell System, Dimension XPS-T 700R. I've tried both PC100 and 133 in it and both give an error that they failed/cant read in sector?section? 1 or something to that effect. Both sticks said the same thing, they were new and from the distributor so I know they are both fine. We removed original stick and then left it in there, switched banks, you name it, we tried it. It recognizes it in the bios in slot 2 as 512 but comes up with the error on cold boot.

Aside from having the man pay Dell just to get information, (his warranty is up) how do I find out why the 512 sticks (Kingston) I put in there won't work? Has anyone had this problem?

As always thanks in advance,
Sharon
