Can someone help me with a problem? I have a Compaq 5416 AMD, 500 Mhz, that currently has two 64 MB cards. I want to put in two 128 cards but every time I try to put in more than 128 MB, the video displays lines and is almost impossible to see. If I only put in the 128 and 64 cards, the video is a bit more stable and viewable, but there's an outline around the mouse pointer. This machine is supposed to handel 386 MB of RAM.
 
Thanks Matt; but when I put the 128MB cards in by themselves, they work fine. It's SDRAM for PC 100/133. That's the kind of RAM the computer calls for.
