HPC GUY:
Choco just to let you know with some systems, once you go past 512mb of ram you need to have "Registered" memory or your system will produce errors left and right and the system will say low system resources. OH and i am a techie guys, and for the most part your right some dont know shit. At least the besy buy and microcenter techies, they dont know what the fuck they are doing...
WaWAR_FA:
if yoiu can use it in your box and if you can find it get about 1gig of 800mhzRambus ecc ram. but it has to be ecc ram.
sporkme:
try taking a memory board out, then the other.
boot to a dos disk from a windows 98 pc then repartition and format. leave room for linux!

yo here is an update, i formatted the extra hard drive my Celeron 500 had in it and put Linux on it. Linux did not experience any memory problems. then i formatted Linux and put Windows XP on it, Windows no longer experiences memory errors. that techie guy is too damn smart i tell you what man.
sorta neat how he gave me the real answer instead of some stupid BS song and dance to make a sale. his job is to sell shit and he chose to give me the REAL answer, i'll give him a tip next time i buy something LOL, he deserves it .
HPC GUY:
hell i do the same shit, if ya dont need it dont buy it. We sell hardware too as well as fix stuff. if the customer appreciates the effort you may see them again when they make their next major upgrade!!
