I've always said that upgrades are not infinite and you can only upgrade to a
point. here is a letter from reader's letters in a magazine called
Computeractive..
Billy
Here's a tip for readers: I upgraded my motherboard, memory and processor to an
Athlon XP 11700. I bought two 512Kb memory modules and was very pleased when
the whole machine fired up perfectly first time. Very soon though, I started
getting conflicts, program errors and all sorts. I changed every setting in the
BIOS and spent many hours checking connections and reloading Windows 98SE.
After four months of this, I was prepared to get rid of the motherboard and buy
an expensive, tried and tested one. I mentioned this to a colleague who said I
had overloaded the motherboard. He advised me to remove the second memory
module. I did this and the machine has been running sweetly ever since.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
