RAM on Celeron?
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2002 7:08 pm
hey there
pls forgive this posibly newbie question...
i'm running XP pro on a Celeron 800MHZ, with 2X 64MB SDram. today i tried to upgrade to one stick of 256MB SDRAM - but although the BIOS seemed to recoginse it - windows wouldnt do it - even when it did manage to load - it restsrted itself as soon as it finished laoding....
is this machine not capabale of running 256?? its not an old machine, so i doubt it.... i have downlaoded the Intel Identify Utility, and am pasting the results here, maybe it will mean something to you folks
