Well, maybe - I had that once a long time ago, and it rendered a Windows 2k 
system unbootable. It was so strange that I reconstructed the problem, and 
put the offending ram module back in, and booted up with the Pres and my 
associate admin looking on, and it happened again! But, in this case, my 
machine is coming up and running, and everything works. Maybe I'll try 
booting in to windows, just to double check... Other suggestions offered have 
made substantial progress, however
