[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] memory problem on Packard Bell XT

The easiest way is to look at the socjet numbers next to each chip, (i.e.)
the uxx number.  Then find the lowest one in the row.  Count from that chip
as 0 the next as 1 the next as 2 the next as 4 the next as 8 the next 10 the
next as 20 the next 40 and the last as 80. Now, convert the chip id Xff to
decimal and you wil have the proper location. This is the hard way.  
     The easier way is if your system has a 640k motherboard with the first
two rows as 256k chips and the second two rows as 64k chips is to count the
first row as 256k i.e. your problem area, then it would be my best guess as
a tech that it is one of the lase three chips in the first row probably the
3(40)chip.  If you can't find it page me at (708)905-4921 and i will try to
help you as best I can
