i've searched 'round the 'net & so far have been unable to find any 64mb 2k SIMMS, and talking further with OEMPCWORLD they say that 2k refresh rate EDOs above 32mb were NEVER made!!! which would explain why i can't find 'em also would explain why GATEWAY changed the motherboard in these...

well, it looks like as far as my PC goes i cannot upgrade it above the 128mb i already have :( from what i can understand so far anyways, the motherboard used in the original GATEWAY2000 G6-266 PCs like mine (and who knows if also other gateway models at the time, like 233, or 300mhz etc)...

holy *$&#*# this is what happened when i removed ALL of my existing SIMMS (4 32MB ones) and tried booting up ONLY with the new "4k refresh rate 64mb" ones, which should have given me 128mb (1) the PC counted up ONLY to 64mb!!!! i shutdown b4 going into windoze since something was...

i have some info that may benefit others in the same boat as me, looking to add RAM to an old PC i surfed around the 'net for several hours and found alot of great resources for understanding things about RAM, specs, compatibilities, what the refresh rates mean etc...

thanks for your input more to my "story" and some other questions my PC is an old "GATEWAY2000". a G6-266 - not sure what motherboard or RAM they used - i bought it new at the time (1997) with only 64mb ram and when i went to add ram a year or so later (another 64mb) i discovered that...

when you startup your PC with the new RAM does it countup & show the new RAM? or does it ignore it? i 99% sure the BIOS on my PC autodetects the RAM situation, it counted up to the new amount, and after the problems in WINDOZE when i removed the new ram and booted up again with the old RAM...

- the 2 SIMMS that i took out were: 32mb each, 60ns, EDO, "with parity" that is all that i know about them - the 2 SIMMS that i replaced them with were: 64mb each, 50ns, EDO, not sure if had "parity" or not (dunno why should that even matter?) the PC has only 2 banks available for...

I'd like to ask perhaps a general question about a problem I just had after trying to upgrade RAM in my old PC. This may sound specific to my PC but I am wondering about it in a general sense as far as RAM upgrades go. After I removed existing RAM from one of the SIMM banks and replaced it...

no, i have not gone that route (finding & contacting a sony service center) & don't think i will bother in my experience with getting a sony DAT deck serviced, the sony service centers have a fixed fee that they charge based on what your equipment is, they do some sort of "standard" tweaking...

more on this, i spoke (email) to one of the guys who made mention of the DAS software on his webpage, and asked him what it was, how to get it etc and he said this: "The Sony DAS software is only available to Sony authorised service centres and is not available anywhere on the Internet as...

yes, i might do that, except that i've found in my experience with these kinds of things that repair places will tell you to bring the unit in for them to look at, but charge you a fixed "estimate fee" for doing that, which then gets applied to the repair cost if you decided to get it fixed, or...

yes, me too, i was thinking it is something sony technicians have/use i've seen it referred to on several different pages but can't find any actual direction to it - i did email one of the guys who mentioned it on his webpage & am hoping he will get back to me i tried several different...

thanks, i did read through that linnk (option C) at http://www.network54.com/Forum/thread?forumid=87612&messageid=1062229659 but it seemed to me that they were talking about a "HP P1110 // Nokia 445N" rather than my DELL/COMPAQ P1110 (god this is so confusing) i will take a look at it...

thanks to all for the feedback i posted my same question to 3 different forums and i think you guys have given me the exact fix, and in less than an hour :) i do want to note that this is a CRT based monitor, not an LCD it is a "flat screen" huge behemoth, sony trinitron, not a "flat...

awesome!!! that second link (hutzelman) is DEFINITELY what the problem is!!!! i am going to attempt to do that!!! thanks very much

a friend of mine just gave me his old DELL P1110 21 inch flat screen monitor when trying to use it though, i see that it has a MAJOR problem with being WAYYYY to bright :-( i've tried adjusting the brightness & contrast settings to no avail even with the brightness set all the way down...
