: Hi!

: 	Recently have tried to change my 16 Mo to 32 Mo. I get the memory
: mismatch from the bios. I've restart the machine and get in the setup.
: Then i've only use the save option of the setup. After that it recognize
: my 32 Mo with no problem!!

board on which a jumper must be moved to enable / disable the 30 pin simm
sockets.
