Hi friends I have a little problem:
When booting up, the memory test keep looping until I hit the Esc key.
Any idea how to solve this :)
Thanks
Stan

Check in your BIOS settings for a setting such as Quick memory test. Probably on the advanced features page. On bootup you should see what key to hit to enter setup, usually del or esc.

"until I hit the Esc key"

Are you sure you are not just being impatient?

When I had 64mb RAM it would count the 64mb.
I added 64 more and it would count the 128mb twice.
When I added a third 64mb stick it would count the 192mb three times.

I turned off the 'feature' when I switched to 3x128mb sticks because I did not want to wait for it to count up to 384 three times.
