Their tech support said maybe the DIMM is bad, maybe one of the chips
has a short in it, and they asked me to bring it in for testing. The
DIMM detects okay as a 64 MB DIMM on whatever board they used to
test. They then told me that there's an incompatibility between my
motherboard and 64 MB DIMMs, even though the motherboard manual says
the board can take 64 MB DIMMs. Frontier did not have any 16 MB SIMMs
in stock, so I had to trade in for two 32 MB SIMMs. (And they're EDO,
too.) We're working fine now.
