Answer : Problem: VXPRO-Motherboard Manuel

Lets say you added 16 Megs more,

When you boot up:
1. does the ram check show 32 meg?
If yes then I would suspect the RAM chips. it is likely that they have a problem, you should change them, ie return them to the company and get replacements.

If the memory check is showing less than the sum of old+new, you are probably not fitting in the chips correctly.

Also check to see that the old and the new chips are of the same speed. This can be done by reading the serial number on the chips. it is normally in the format of some digits - 10 ot - 7 etc.

All the chips must have the same number after the "-"

Another way of checking to see if it is a speed related problem, is to remove the old ram, put the new chips in the old slots and see if you get the error messages. If no, then it is definetely a speed related issue.

You do not need to change any jumpers etc, when you add ram to your sytem.
Hope this helps.
