The last time I had one fail, I needed the machine for work and couldn't wait for the replacement to ship. So, I went to either MicroCenter or Best Buy and picked up another pair of SIMMs with the exact same specs (different brand, of course). A couple weeks later, my replacemnts arrived. "Yippe!" I say to myself, "twice as much RAM!" I plugged them in alongside the recently purchased pair. Wouldn't work. Either pair of SIMMs worked fine by themselves, but the only way I could get both pairs to work together was to drop the clock speed down to about a third the speed they were supposed to support. I read and re-read the motherboard specs and manual. I spent hours tweaking different memory settings in the BIOS, but no joy. Now I've got a backup pair of SIMMs sitting on the shelf. -- Grant
