My computer had 2 rams in it, one 64 at 100mhz and one 256 at 133mhz and everything was ok. Today I put in another two 256 at 133 mhz and took out the 64 one. When I turned on my computer I got this message "164 Memory size error" but after that my windows loaded normally and when I go to my computer it shows the total ram of 768. My question: Why did I get the error message? Should I leave the new rams in? Or is this going to 'cause any problems later on?

I restarted it and the error was gone. But then when I played some games my computer restarted itself for no reason... Help!!!

Should be no prob. You had your previous memory size of 320MB stored in your CMOS so it simply told you that the memory did not match what it showed you have. It shouldn't keep doing it. If it does reset your CMOS via the J5 jumper on the board.

until eventually you're working a sixty 4-bit working equipment, it is going to in common terms recognize 3gb of RAM no count number HOW a lot you put in the gadget (assuming, of course, that that's a Microsoft OS)

try re-booting the computer and if you get the memory error message again, check with a computer repair person.
