Before I intalled the RAM card, I had only the built in 8megs. I didn't intall the upgade patch, I wonder if that would help. I might give it a try. Also, I didn't make it clear that my 755CD is also a pentium model. I realize that there is a difference between the 486 and pentium memory, but I thought that if I tried to install the memory for the 486 version, my TP wouldn't even recognize it... -Mike >How much ram did you have before you put in the 32MB?
