[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Fix ?? bad AST ATVantage with memory problems

burton@mitisft.Convergent.COM (Philip Burton) (08/21/90)

My 5 year old AST ATVantage has lots of apparently bad memory chips, in 
different locations, according to my memory diagnostic program.

A friend suggests that it's not the RAM that's going south, but the RAM 
select logic.

Assuming the latter, can anyone offer suggestions, either for low cost repair,
or a good low-cost unpopulated RAM card.  I can do without the serial and
parallel ports, but I need the RAM to run Windows 3.0.

My system is an IBM PC AT (real, gen-u-wine IBM, no flames please), and I
gotta keep it running for a bit longer.

Thanks in advance
