Want to increase RAM on a PlatiniX 2.

Removing existing 128MB stick & inserting two 256MB PC133 SDRAM DIMM
sticks leads to memory scan on boot as 1MB i.e., double the size, &
the machine stops there - no POST.

Have carried out the Crucial memory scan with the original 128MB in
place alone & it confirms it is the above memory spec & but the mobo
is 100MhzFSB.

The only cosmetic difference between the 128MB stick & the 256 sticks
is that the former has memory units on one side of the PCB only whilst
the latter has them on both sides.

Should I be sourcing "single-sided" or some other description?

Is it cheap *** generic RAM you bought or stuff from Crucial? I found
that noname crap gives nothing but grief. Crucial IS worth the money.

I'd try it with each stick in on its own and see what happens.

It's generic from Scan & I'm now on my second lot having returned the
first.

Tried each stick alone & in different slots. No joy.
