dude, RAM!

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Probably it should be running at ddr 400 (dram ~200mhz)

you should be able to set it in the bios, ddr333 is often just what stuff defaults to as a failsafe.

I suppose it's the fact that you're depending on a floppy disc, and if you fuck up, your whole motherboards fucked.

what exactly is your mobo? most likely there'll be a windows flashing app.

edit: http://www.giga-byte.com/MotherBoard/Fi ... a_bios.htm

= no need for a floppy.

i'd consider doing it with just your 512meg stick in there, given it's a known good config
