Ok, I've got a computer here that I'm trying to fix. I think there's a case of faulty RAM, and that's why it won't boot very far before freezing. There's two peices of EDO RAM, they're both identical and each have 32MB total on them if I calculated correctly[Last four digits on the chip number times 8(for each chip)]. So that's 64MB total, but the startup is only detecting 32MB. If one is faulty would it block the computer from booting after the PCI device listing? Hope I'm right and I don't go and buy some more RAM to find out that it's not the problem. Help me out here boys and girls! Thanks!

At what point does it freeze?
Have you tried booting with only one chip installed?
Try a chip from another system.
