Re: Anyone run LInux with 16GB RAM?
hi kourosh
i'd say try a better ( name brand ) 2GB memory stick
muskin, viking, kingston, corsair
we had similar problems with generic memory modules,
and used kingston 1GB and all the random crashes w/ 1GB memory went
away
yes, its expensive for 2GB.. but you're on the bleeding edge
other memory info ( and memory testing )
