one stick at a time, still Beeps. So the memtest cannot do anything.,I wander
it is the memory board problem. Buying a new motherboard should be more
expensive than the machine itself. ^_^ And the machine is quite old. Not sure
IBM still has that part.</span></font></p>

I need some advice about the IBM PC SERVER 704. I got it recently. I<br>
boot it once and install openbsd on it successfully with <a href="http://bsd.mp" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">bsd.mp</a>
, but<br>
the other day, it beeps three times and stop doing anything, no vidio <br>
output to show the error message, referred to the manual, it means<br>
"the first 64k memory failure". I tried to reduce the memory
sticks(16<br>
peices), but it seems doing nothing. what can I do now?<br>
<br>
cheers,Mian<br>
