strange remark about your collection?

However, I bought it from a shop where I knew the staff well - I used to work there - and they let me try a variety of DIMMs in it before I took the machine. We had no difficulty finding a 256MB DIMM that worked fine. Result, 320MB RAM, enough for Windows 2000 to run well. Don't believe what manufacturers tell you. They don't always know. The only snag with my machine is that the BIOS doesn't believe the amount of RAM, so every boot, it decides the CMOS NVRAM is corrupt and zeroes it. It still boots fine but I have to put a tool in the boot sequence to set the time and date off the network. Otherwise, it runs perfectly. Today, as a veteran 11YO with a broken screen hinge, it runs Lubuntu & Crunchbang but I am considering a switch to FreeBSD. :-) -- Liam Proven ?
