Only DIMM1 256MB - the same errors in iPXE

Only DIMM3 128MB - the same errors in iPXE

I test also DIMM3 module in slot DIMM2 and the same errors iPXE :-(

This is not problem with RAM modules.

I'm not claiming that the problem is necessarily in the RAM modules. The mismatched RAM modules lead me to suspect the overall build quality of the machine. The actual fault could be anywhere: CPU, motherboard, PCI slot, etc.

Here are some things you could try if you want to isolate the problem:

• Try running memtest86+ for one complete cycle on the faulty machine
• Try this RE100ATX NIC in a known-working (with iPXE) machine.
• Try the RE100ATX NIC from a known-working (with iPXE) machine in the faulty machine.
