After a long and arduous battle for stability I have come to the conclusion that there is some wacko problem with the chipsets above playing nicely. I am wondering if anyone can shed some light on my problem and/or conclusion!! Here is my setup: Nothing is overclocked DFI AK76-SN (AMD 761 and VIA 686B) 1.4 Thunderbird 2 sticks of Unregistered 128meg 266 DDR DIMMS Also tried 1 stick of 256meg 266 DDR too SBlaster Live! Value Geforce2 GTS Win ME (tried Win 98 1st ED and SE too) I am at the point were I can hammer my system with both DIMMS (256meg) installed via the SiSandra burn in wizard. 24hours of all tests no problem. As soon as I play Quake3 or any other 3d game it will crash. If I just have one DIMM installed but ONLY IN DIMM slot 2 everything is stable. Anytime DIMM 1 slot is populated with RAM it will crash but only in 3d games! Otherwise is is rock solid! I am happy with the board and I am waiting for the vendor to respond but does anyone know anything!? Thanks in advance!

Well, I have an Abit KG7 board, and my board is picky about how I place ram. I need to put ram in slot # 1 and 2 and if it's unbuffered, only 2 DIMMs. If I put any ram in #3 or 4, it won't work. I suppose my advice is to try reversing the order the ram is placed. I assume you tried each stick of ram in #2, as you describe, separately? -- sandv!per� Viper's Lair: http://www.viperlair.com "Axis" <fantabulosity@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:tsms4boelg1o03@corp.supernews.com... > After a long and arduous battle for stability I have come to the > conclusion that there is some wacko problem with the chipsets above > playing nicely.
