Dear Peter,

I used one M571 with a Pentium Classic 133 processor, but the MoBo is unstable. Sometimes count only 16Mb(have 1 32 Mb Sdram stick)sometimes count 32Mb.
The situation is better when I put the speed of memory at 10nS on Bios(the memory stick is PC100). Could be incompatibility with this memory? I must use PC66 memory only ? Windows get a lot of BSOD and never load completely, but in Dos run normal !

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Well check that RAM. www.memtest86.com. If even the very poor BIOS memory test won't accept it all, then it's very probably bad. Compatibility is not an issue, M571 uses any SDRAM as long as it isn't above 64 MBytes per DIMM _side_.

Integrated-VGA boards reveal even the slightest flakiness in RAM, since the VGA causes lots of extra traffic.

Or maybe it isn't firmly seated. Check that, the DIMM sockets usually are VERY tight on this mainboard.

regards, Peter
