I have a old PC I play with and it has pc100 sdram. I bought 2 256 sticks of pc100 sdram and it does not read it, works fine with the old ram. When I boot up the computer it beeps 3 times, 3times and then 1 time   :angry Then it just sits there and laughs at me

Sounds like you either got bad memory or you killed it with static electricity!.. Or you don't have the right memory!. Everytime I've heard those beeps it was dead memory!. BTW, it's not uncommon to get bad memory!.. :rolleyes

You said an old PC, how old will it hold that much memory???. :stupid

A room full of f'in comedians :bebe

I tried it even with just one 256 stick and got the same results, it has 2 slots one has a 128 and the other has a 64 and they work fine just trying to speed it up a bit more. The computer is about a 3-4 years old HP 7840

Can someone ck the memory out somehow?

AZKC,
That computer, the HP 7840, only supports a total of 512 MB of RAM.
Here's the specs.
Component
Attributes

RAM (standard)
64 megabytes (MB) PC 100

Maximum
512 MB (2 x 256 MB DIMM)

Speed
100 MHz synchronous

Sockets
Two 168-pin DIMMs

Size
32, 64, 128, and 256 MB DIMMs

Free DIMM socket
1

Pairs Required
No

Type Supported
SDRAM, 100 MHz,
Intel PC SDRAM unbuffered DIMM specification,
revision 1.0 compliant

I would check to make sure that the new RAM is the same type as the supported type listed above.  There are many different types of PC 100 RAM.
