I just added an Aries RAM card with 2 MB of 1MegX1 memory chips, to my Amiga 2000 with its factory-delivered 1Meg of RAM. Within the first couple of hours of use, I experienced three crashes: two Gurus and a freezeup. Normally this *never* happens. At the time of the crashes, the machine had been sitting idle, running only one user task, such as a telecom program (Platinum Online!) which didn't happen to be connected to anything, or a shell, or Memacs. I ran extensive memory tests: 25 passes of Memory Doctor. It found no bad chips. Is there something I need to do that nobody told me about, or should I suspect a defective Aries board? -gerry zeitlin 602-996-1991 gmz@xroads.cts.com: -- G E R R Y Z E I T L I N (602) 996-1661 Scottsdale Arizona (602) 996-1979 fax gmz@xroads.cts.com

My original posting had to do with system crashes after installing an Aries memory expansion card in my Amiga 2000. Conversations with the manufacturer and retailer involved resulted in my learning that I have a rev 4.4 motherboard, and an upgrade is recommended, at a cost of approx $375 plus installation. Anyone have any suggestions as to whether or not I should do this? -- G E R R Y Z E I T L I N (602) 996-1661 Scottsdale Arizona (602) 996-1979 fax gmz@xroads.cts.com
