John,

Very interesting.  Apart from pulling the memory out of the PC and looking
for secret voodoo markings on the chips, is there any other way to
determine if you have CLK2/3/4 chips ?  Oh for the simpler days whern
there were only 2 kinds, regular and salt & vinegar !

I had one machine that was also consistently getting the "cannot read
memory" error. Reinstalling the operating system didn't help. The problem
was finally resolved when I changed the SDRAM chips. W2K seems to be very
picky about RAM quality, and the associated BIOS settings.  You need to
make
sure that you know whether your SDRAM chips are CLK2, 3, or 4, and that
the
BIOS is set accordlingly.
