Adding RAM

from WinCustomize Forums
I have 3 slots for a total of 738 Megs of Ram. Had 32 Meg in slot 3 and changed to 256. For some reason this caused a problem with my sound blaster which I have been able to correct. Does anyone know? Is it best to have the Ram installed with largest capability in slot one and decending in size? My present= slot one, 128 meg, slot 2, 32 meg and 256 in slot 3. Thanks for any input.

Yes. Some motherboards strictly require it. Try the 256 in slot 1, 128 in slot 2, and 32 in slot 3.

You may need to dump the 32....could be a compatability issue....not all ram is equal, as it were....
