SUMMARY
When using STB Systems Inc.'s Rapidmeg Expansion Board, the following message may appear:

164 - Memory Size Error Resume = F1

This error message occurs when the computer's CMOS settings are incorrect.



MORE INFORMATION
The CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) chip was introduced as a standard for storing hardware information (including memory) for the IBM PC-AT class machines.

The extended memory value stored in a computer's CMOS settings should be a total of the extended memory on the system board (motherboard) plus the extended memory on the Rapidmeg expansion board.

If the CMOS setting does not match the total as described above, the computer will report an error when it is performing its power-on self-test (POST).

For information on how to examine the CMOS settings, contact the manufacturer of the computer in question.

For additional information, contact STB Systems Inc. technical support at (214) 234-8750.

The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
