FYI, Best Buys has on sale PNY 128M SODIMMs. $79 - $10 instant rebate - $20 mail-in
rebate = $49. Plus tax, of course. (For me, anyway.)

I bought one today. It is the standard 8-chip SODIMM and *does* work on
the IO.

I got one too for $49.....too good to pass up. I'd rather deal with a local place with a liberal return policy, than do the mail-order thing. (if prices are close) Now I've got 3 extra 32meg chips, plus an extra 64 meg micron chip....oh well.

ck,
Are you willing to sell the 64 Mb one at a good price? Let me know. My V1 only has 32 at the moment.

Today I bought a K-Byte 128MB-PC100 SODIMM at Best Buy for $49. SKI#4142779. I don't even think it was on sale ie. regular price.

In any case, this product popped right-in and works fine. The boot screen showed 129M + 2M RAM. Right now IO v1 is running std Netpliance sw package. Could be my imagination, but it seems zippier than before.

Getting ready for a new OS--wish I knew which one to go with!

Win98SE is the easiest to install.

I have 98lite and this is probably the route I'll eventually go (it's familiar) but I really want to be "diskless" and I'm close to convincing myself VNC to my "real" PC might be fun to try. But I'd have to learn some QNX to get the network piece to work.

I think that Jailbait will run on the SanDisk and maybe I will have to try that instead of the built-in QNX... Wish I had someone to help me w/this--I can barely find my way around Win98 and TCP/IP much less trying to do it on an unfamiliar OS.

For those who got the PNY 128 meg from Best Buy, I have been having problem with my IO and I was pulling hairs, trying to isolate the problem for weeks. I taught the bios was the culprit, the symtoms was it will power up, HD spins and fan spins...thats it. Nothing on the screen...been reseating the bios, memory, CPU, and coin battery. Sometimes it will work on any of this, but never on any one particular one....well its the memory that was doing it. I swap memory from my other IO and problem traveled over. Anybody got the same thing happen to their PNY 128?

try upping your bus to 100Mhz and dropping the multiplier(if desired).

Programmer: Thanks for the reply. My FSB is already 100MhZ and multiplier at 3X
(300Mhz with k6clk.exe to 5X for 500Mhz but problem before the 500Mhz). Any more ideas? I inking calling PNY for RMA.

I can't believe I am posting this right Now, as Nice as it is on the Surface Today.
But, You don't mention Your OS, I just wanted to say, Win98 (somewhere around there !)
There is an UpDate For Speeds Over 400 MHz. (there was a Timing Issue)
Just another Bug Fix included in WinMe
Have a GREAT Day, However You Decide to Spend It ! * StarFish *

STARFISH: OS is irrelevant. I got a blank screen, HD & FAN spins, no bios info - problem is before OS.
