Arminius,
My response was tongue in cheek. It was memory. Problem solved. Why it will not run
with only 1 stick is a mystery to me. Like my XP Pro, it only has 2 slots.
But with one stick it will not boot.
The mother board is a 6269N2U.
My personal opinion is it's one of the finest machines ever to hit the market. I
love it, but without the ability to run the latest flash or browser, it's becoming
limited as to use. If you saw the show, Bill Gates earns approx. $850.00 a SECOND.
It went on to say if he saw a one hundred dollar bill on the ground, it wouldn't
make sense for him to pick it up. Would take too long.
