Bob; If anyone pin on any one chip failed to make contact, the whole bank will not be recognized. It can be unbelievably easy to "miss-install" one of the chips. Even with good lighting and eyesight, you really need a magnifying glass to verify that none of the pins have "folded under". In particular some of the chips are supplied with very soft leads and these are the worst. -bill
