Hope you get things going. I have noticed that my T+ is more finnicky than my T16 was. From time to time when I switch between EMM and Extended memory I will get a Parity Error on my 486. I havn't figured out what causes it. It could be something with the way our motherboards work with memory. I too had problems with memory when I upgraded from 8 to 16 Megs. Let me know if you find out. Wish I could help.

Thanks Mark, I am changing the postion of the targap around in my conf file to see if it helps. I'm convinced that the Targap is the culpurt. When it does boot up OK and I try to render a 3ds file it only gets to about 10 large 200,000 [D [Dk files before i get a parity error. Back to the drawing board. Rock

Just out of curiosity, do you know the brand name of your motherboard?

the first one was made by a company named archie. that was the board that wasnt able to upgrade past 8 megs. the one that company sent me now doesnt have aname on it, just MADE IN AMERICA. ROCK
