I'm sorry to post this here. It's really not FreeBSD related, but I'm in kind of a jam, and I hope someone can help me. I recently bought an M-Tech R534F mb with Cyrix P200+ and generic SDRAM. Apparently this SDRAM isn't happy on the board. It crashed every time when I tried to install from CD with SDRAM but the install goes OK with simms. (I assume the RAM is the problem since I saw the same behavior with another mb). My vendor will swap the SDRAM for Hyundai or Samsung electronics, but will not refund my full purchase price (I bought this two months ago), so I'd rather go with the swap than take a $25 dollar loss. Does anyone have any experience with these mobo/proc/memory combos? Any recommendations? Thanks. Greg
