Ok I just tried to install 128 megabyte PC800 RDRAM modules into a Sony Vaio ---there were already 2 sticks of the 64 meg RDAM previously installed--am I missing something here? What could cause the RDRAm to not work with each other? I have four slots--previously there was a 64 stick and then the cimm, a 64 stick and then another cimm. I changed it to 2x128 and then 2x64 -- and the machine wouldnt boot. I heard that RDRAM can be bitchy about using sticks from diffferent manufacturers--is this possible? how about could it be a mismatch of ECC and non-ECC? I cant find any info on the old sticks to detremine if it is ECC or not. The new ones are non-ECC.

Download and run "EverestHome" (free). Go to: Motherboard > SPD. It will tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your memory. Of course, I'm talking about your original memory. This can help you match memory modules. Does your manual tell you what you need? You could also go to the Kingston site and see what is recommended for your system.
