My thinking is that this may be related to the Windows driver component (and perhaps its interaction with GenMAC) and not something which is directly related to GenMAC. I recently built a system with an Intel 2915ABG wireless card and 4GB RAM; no problems booting whatsoever. The issue which some saw was with booting the eCS CD itself with more than 1GB RAM, but this has since been addressed. Also, are there any memory-specific settings in the BIOS which you can try toggling (one at a time, preferably) to see if they have any effect? Perhaps with more than 1GB of RAM, the system is automatically mapping something to a previously uninstalled memory address. -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Secure, stable, operating system www.ecomstation.com -------------------------------------------------------------
