    i had the wierdest experience today.
    i wanted to change my memory on the pegasos2 allways used 512 mb.
    so my buddy gave me some he had, 2x 512mb.

    man this was gonna be cool or soo i thought.
    pushed these suckers inside and booted.

    Morphos as allways :D came and i started using it.
    but then i tried starting OWB mos freezed. :/
    rebooted tried again and the sec i click owb same result..
    seems the hole system became unstable.

    could anyone help with this?

    i *think* pegasos need PC2100 266MHz DDR ram, the ones you show picture of are PC3200 and 400MHz

    Useing both sockets is not advised.
    Useing RAM not tested for Pegasos is also not advised.

    But .....

    Sometimes the board won't get the wright settings after a RAM-change and you could try this:

    Remove all RAM
    Power on your Peg
    Wait a while
    Power down
    Insert RAM
    Try your luck

    Run "memtext extensive" a few times, if it doesn't fail you stand a good chance of having a working system.
