just got two 256 sticks of PC100 for my old dell dimension xps t. removed the existing sticks and installed the new stuff, no boot, four beeps.
tried leaving the old stuff in and adding one of the new sticks, i get boot and one beep, but an error when window tries to load. some missing pci.sys file or something like that. says to insert the windows cd to repair... but windows works fine with the old ram in there... did i get scammed and get dead ram? or is there something else i need to do?
