Greetings,

	I have just installed additional 4x1MB SIMMs to fill all the memory
banks on my PC. However, when I boot the system, reconfigured the cmos
setup, the himem memory manager was not able to load indicating an error
when the memory was tested. I removed the new 4x1MB SIMMS and booted the
system again and it worked fine. Then I swapped it with the new SIMMs
and it also worked fine. When I put all the SIMMs back on the
motherboard and boot the system, the same error occurs.

	Can I assume that there are no error or defects in the SIMMs? If there
are no physical defects on the SIMMs, what can cause that error that I
am facing? Any of you good people out there can give me some hint?
