RE: Installing Memory Problem

Unplug the power,remove the battery,locate the CMOS jumper pin,move it
from 1-2 to 2-3 for 1 1/2 minutes,then put back to 1-2,replace battery,start
computer.You'll need to reset the BIOS on restarting,time,date,then go to
exit
page,select,load set-up defaults,or optimized defaults,then back to BIOS to
set
for add-in cards etc,then save and exit BIOS.In a 4 DIMM board,with 2
sticks of
memory,either use 1-3 or 2-4,with 3 it shouldnt matter,but chk owners manual.
246 128 or 512 all will work.
