Unhappy RAM increasing
i have a dell latitude cpx j system. it only has 128mb ram on it and i have two other expansion cards. i put either of them into the second Dimm B spot and when i restart my computer i get a pci.sys error. is there a way to expand using both slots for ram or just the Dimm A spot?

haha i didnt explain too much, i expect a few questions. lol
thanks

I'm no good with DIMM RAM so you will have to wait for someone else to answer that.

But what are the other two expansion cards? And are they both PCI or is one a graphics card on AGP?
