After adding 2 *new* 16M EDO simms of ram to my existing pair of 16M
EDO simms (purchased about 5 months ago),  I find that while Windows
95 recognizes the additional sticks,  I now get frequent blue screen
errors & system crashes.  If I remove the older pair of simms, leaving
in the newer (or vice versa), everything seems to run stable so I
doubt that the RAM I just bought is bad.  Is this problem common?
Could the trouble be the mixing of an older lot of RAM with a newer?
The older simms have 8 chips on one side while the newer ones have
only 2, yet both sets are suppose to be standard 72-pin 16M EDO simms.
I only paid $18.95 for each of the 2 new simms so is this a case of
"you-get- what-you-pay-for" & hence a valuable lesson to be learnt
about never purchasing generic RAM of different lots?  I feel
bummed-out about this since I really wanted to upgrade from 32-megs to
64-megs but it looks like that'll never come to pass. :-(  Any
thoughts or solutions?

Btw, my computer is a Pentium 166MMX/Shuttle-HOT-based system running
at 2.5 X 75Mhz (um, yes, I tried lowering the system bus to the
"proper" 66MHz -- same problems).  Thanks in advance for any feedback.
