I just bought a Gateway 2000 386/25 nocache Micronics Motherboard and I need
some help with it.  I've already tried both Gateway and Micronics Tech Lines.

Objective:  To install 2 megabytes in 256k simms modules.

Problem:  When I plugged the chips up, the computer won't come on.  It just 
          beeps out an error message which the Micronics Tech people describe
          as a memory error message. 

Paradox:  The manual says that 256k simms will work!!!  In fact, it has a chart
          with a diagram showing several different configurations, several of
          which use 256k simms.  The Tech people say they should work.  They
          advised me to try some different simms.  So I have.  1 megabyte simms
          seem to work fine.  I tried a different brand of 256k simms that
          were 3 chip simms, and they would not work either.  I have some 9
          chip simms made my NEC which are not working with it.  I have ordered
          a different brand of 9 chip simms to test out in there, but I have a
          strange feeling that its NOT the simms fault!!

Question: Does anyone know what the problem is?  Does anyone have a Gateway 2000
          system using a Micronics 386/25 nocache motherboard?  And if so, do
          you have 256k simms in it?  If so, what brand?  I could use any
          suggestions you all might have, please email me if possible. The 256k
          simms I have repeatedly tried are: NEC  MC-41256A9B-80  (9038ME)
	  Please help!! 

PS:       Yes, I have tried setting Jumpers on the board.  None apply to the
          simms.
