I recently put together an AOPEN AX3S based system where I bought all the
parts from a dealer in Brisbane. I also bought from him  a stick of 128 Meg
of Pc133 (Kingmax) memory.

The memory stick would not work - so I bought a cheaper 64 meg stick from
another dealer and this worked fine.

Took the 128 meg stick back to the original dealer and got it replaced with
2x64 meg sticks ---  BUT these will not work either.  No matter whether I
use them singly or in any combination ---only the 64 meg stick from the
second dealer will work.

Now, am I missing something here -is it possible that 3 sticks from this
dealer can be bad??

Thanks

Barry
