I'm using a 486 DX2/66, with 28 megs of RAM; 72 pin 8 mb SIMM, walcottt>>72 pin 4 mb SIMM, 4 30 pin 4 MB SIMMS. You have both 72 pin SIMMs and 30 pin SIMMs. Does this mean your motherboard has both 72 pin slots AND 30 pin slots? Or, you are using some sort of converter to fit 30 pin SIMMs in a 72 pin slot? I occasionally hear that 30-pin-to-72-pin-SIMM-converters are the root of troubles.
