system: 486/33 isa, aha1542, 16mb
added another 16mb and it went crazy with programs dumping core, and
kernel traps all over the place. so i suspect the memory is bad (this
machine has run with 20Mb previously, and has bounce buffers configured
etc)..
On FreeBSD 1.x, the memory test doesnt complain. I remember reading
the BIOS's memory test is crap. What should I use to test memory?
(currently the machine has 4x4Mb 30 pin 9-chip simms, giving 16Mb.
the new 16Mb is 4x4Mb 30 pin 3-chip simms. that shouldnt cause
any problems right?)
Thanks!
