RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Clanrat Profile | Email I just put a "Corsair PC100128MB 144 SODIMM CAS2 UNBUFFERED" in my unmodified (yet!) IO and it booted fine. Seemed to take a bit longer on the opening screen than usual, but everything worked. 11-18-2001 23:19:06

I ordered one of these and have had major problems with it under Win98. Both Win98 original and Second Edition Upgrade puked mightily while installing and when running (installed both twice) - problems detecting HW during setup, lockups during normal operation, lockups when running Scandisk. I put the original 32 meg SODIMM back in and things have been running stable. Maybe Linux is more forgiving of memory problems than Win98. My IO has a Rise 266 processor and Jack's/Wild Pencil's 5.30 bios. glad Crucial was giving free shipping before Christmas... 12-30-2001 23:34:01

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile I've had a similar experience. I had a 128M module that worked just fine in a WinChip (and later WinChip2) I-Opener. I was running Win98. Then I bought another I-Opener and it had the Rise 266 Chip. This same memory module would not work in the Rise CPU - even booting from the same disk. Windows crashed at the logo screen with a crazy colors. I also saw this effect in the BIOS setup utility. It would lock up fairly often just paging through the BIOS screens. My BIOS was flashed back to V1. I tried setting the BIOS memory timing settings as modest as possible - and this did not help. Usually Crucial is fine memory. I wonder if the CT16M64S6W7E would work? It's 7.5ns and Cas2 at 133. Can anyone provide a 128M (or even 256M) part number known to work on the RISE-based I-Os? Thanks and Happy New Year 01-02-2002 10:49:26

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) DMasier Profile Wow. That's a surprise. Well, I do have the K6-III CPU hack running on that IO, so I'd better qualify my memory recommendation... www.crucial.com Micron Part No: CT16M64S6W8E Price: $19.79 Description: 128MB, 144-pin SODIMM. Works fine with K6-III 333 @ 250MHz Sorry. 01-03-2002 04:19:41

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email Slightly off-topic: FWIW, I transplanted a Rise CPU to another Socket-7 desktop running at the same 66 MHz FSB, and I got weird colors on the Win95 initial logo screen. After that, it seemed to work OK most of the time. My guess is that the Rise chips have some FSB timing or incompatibility issues, but I can't pin it down. I did notice, however, that the benchmarks show only about 1/2 the memory bandwidth of the K6-III or Pentium/200MMX (at the same 66 MHz FSB). If necessary, this discussion can continue on a separate thread devoted to the Rise CPU and its quirks (BTW, it has a superb integer core and it runs very cool). 01-04-2002 13:47:03

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile Just bought 128M at circuit city - it's $4.99 (after MI rebates or $21 at the checkout) through tomorrow, 1-5-02. The brand is Centon and marked 16x64-10ns PC100. They were sold out of the 256M SODIMMs that were mentioned as working elsewhere. It works fine in 3 of the 4 I-Openers I have access to. V1, V3, V4A. The V4B does not work. (Both V4s have Rise chip and newer display. A has goop and no Core voltage switch, B has no goop and does have core voltage switch) I'll post a new thread in IO Technical Stuff concerning my little problem with the 4th machine. 01-04-2002 20:45:10

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile NEC makes a 256M SODIMM with 16chips. I think that in other respects it would work in I-Openers, but BEWARE - it's over 2" tall. DO NOT use a NEC 256M Part. 01-06-2002 11:28:28

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 1 times) hiphip Profile I got this memory (128MB, $4.99 after MI) at Circuit City, as previously specified by Dadr, and it gives all kinds of lookups in BIOS as well in Win98se. I put back the original 32Mb, and everything works fine (have V5, BIOS 5.30) The CC memory is labeled: CENTON Electronics, Inc. 128MB 146149 128MBLT100 GIRAV4VDA There are 4 chips on each side (each being CE8MX16X4 -75 Does anyone knows if specific settings in BIOS will make this work? 01-07-2002 21:27:02

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) juser Profile I have tried two sticks of Crucial CT16M64S6W8E.8T memory and Win98SE hangs on both. It is a v5 IO. 01-10-2002 14:27:09

256M SO-DIMM works (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile I just bought a 256M SODIMM today at Costco (Price Club). It was $39.77 - no rebates, just $39.77. The part is a SimpleTech: P/N S256I3NDD1. It's marked PC100/CL2, and has 16 square Samsung chips labeled K4S280832C-NC75. The chips have a 133 in the top right corner, are organized as 4banksx4Mx8 (128Mbits), and the module claims to have 2 128M "banks." The Samsung website claims that -NC75 on the parts makes them PC133 and CL3, so that sounds reasonable to sell as PC100/CL2. The module was not in the computer section of costco - I found it in the sealed glass case that had crystal vases and nick-nacks. You couldn't lay hands on one, but had to fill out a slip with the costco part number (338135) and hand that to the cashier. Works just fine in my V1 i-opener, and dies shortly after POST in the V4b. I'm thinking that, like several other posters, my V4b has some basic problem with memory different than that it came with. I've also noticed that the 128M or 256M memory runs much hotter in the V4b than in the V1, and that it warms up the power supply regulators quite a bit at the bottom of the board.

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Ragnar1 Profile Gang, So has anyone found a 128mb or 256mb stick of memory that will work in a V5 iopener? Ragnar 01-24-2002 22:27:48

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) RainMan Profile Don't know if this will help, but listed below is the data in the SPD ROM on the 32MB SODIMM in my version 5 I-Opener.

RE:Post Memory Specs and Parts that work here (modified 0 times) Ragnar1 Profile Gang, I stumbled onto a solution for the buggy memory problem tonight. I moved my lasagna fan from the processor to the memory stick. This is a stick that would lock up after a couple minutes or running. Made other arrangements to cool the processor. The case will hold the fan in place. I have been running over an hour without a lock up. Now to find out if it is the fan cooling the memory that is doing the trick or that the fan is simply holding the memory tight in the socket. Will others with this problem try this to comfirm if this is the simple solution for all. Ragnar 02-07-2002 01:01:46

Previous message about SimpleTech applies to additional i-opener after adjusting FSB. (modified 0 times) Dadr Profile Greetings, see: http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=technical&Post=2412&Idle=0&Sort=0&Order=Descend&Page=0&Session= in my posting with this same date for full details. It may be that the folks having trouble with some of these parts should adjust their FSB. I have now gotten the previously mentioned (1-19-2002) 256M SimpleTech memory to work in V1 and V4b. I betcha it'll work (with the same FSB modifications) in V5s as well. Cheers 02-26-2002 23:03:54
