Ok, I'm working on a computer for a friend of mine. Its an older gateway Athlon 800. It only has 64mb ram (PC100), so i ordered another 256mb off the net. I got it in and BOOM, it won't boot. I check the ram in another system, but it works fine in there. I called gateway and they told me i need to buy Kingston ram (that is what they sell) its like 60 some buck for 256mb. I say ya right, and i trade the ram for some of my friends to see if it will work. It doesn't either, its giving me memory errors. Weird, becasue it works fine in this computer.
Any suggestions, or do you think i should just break down and buy what Gateway suggests....grrr i ate even having to call tech support, let a lone doing what they tell me to do
