how to verify a dead ram slot?
I have an AOpen AK72 mobo. 3 rams slots. a 128, a 64 and a 32mb chip in them. total of 224mb. so the other day I notice during a reboot that the POST is only showing 192mb. so I double check in system information (win98se) and the same number is showing. so I reboot again and this time the POST doesnt even do a mem-check, but boots fine anyway. so, Im thinking the 32mb chip, being VERY old, is bad, right? so I finally pop it out and put in a 64mb chip I have out of another machine. boot up and guess what? still showing only 192mb. I take this to mean that either the 64mb chip I just put in is also bad, or the ram slot is bad.
besides swapping a bunch of chips in and out, how else can I verify this? I am all out of ram chips to try.
