Hi Carmen,

Here's a site that describes virtual memory pretty well, maybe it'll
give you some insites:
http://aumha.org/a/xpvm.htm

Re: your CheckIt message--hard to say. Can you get any extended
information from the program? (I'm not familiar with the program.)
>From the way it's worded, it could either be a memory problem, or an
inability of the program to test the memory (internal error, perhaps).
So, two things come to mind:
1) CheckIt is having problems doing the test [too much
memory to test?]
2) you've got faulty memory sticks

You might try testing the sticks one-by-one to see if that makes any
difference. I.e., pull one out, start computer, run CheckIt. Repeat
with other stick. If *no* errors come up, then it's probably a problem
with CheckIt itself. If you get an with one or the other stick, but
not both, then you've found the trouble. If *both* fail, then your
back at square one.

Hope this helps for a start,
