Keywords: arrrgh! Message-ID: Date: 26 May 88 05:38:47 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 35 Today was rather boring so I decided to up my ATs memory from 640k to 1meg. After getting over the shock of 18 drams I opened up the case and did some surgery. My system board supports 1 meg of memory so here's what I did. 1. I carefully ripped out 18 64k drams 2. I carefully filled the empty slots with 18 256k drams 3. I set a switch telling the machine that I have 1 meg I now have 2 banks of memory each with 512k. Upon booting, the machine test the memory and reports no problem. After this it says 'Memory no match - Run SETUP' 'Press ESC to continue' upon pressing escape to continue, I am presented with a machine with 512k of memory and 512k extended memory. How can I get the machine to give me 640k of base memory and 384k of extended memory? Or, how do I get rid of the annoying message when I boot the machine. -- _____________________________________________________________________________ |o| Jonathan Joshua jjoshua@topaz.rutgers.edu Why not... |o| |o| Nothing better to do |o| |o| Anything is possible, |o| \o| except for skiing through a revolving door. |o| \_ ____/ \ |o| \/ \ _______________________________ ______________________|o| \___ / \/ \/
