SL6BY is a later and better step than SL657.

I should have done as Elianda says and pass memtest at the beginning, it turns out one of the three sticks was simply FUBAR. This system works flawlessly with the other two sticks for 512MB RAM: http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/11194103/220/11194103.jpg And with a third non-FUBAR stick for 768MB …

I'm aware of W98 problems over 512MB RAM and know how to deal with it, that's not the issue. ... I'm guessing that the cause of the problem are incompatible 256MB modules. I've read that the M577 can handle RAM sticks with 16MB per chip tops. I'm trying with PC-133 256MB sticks, double sided, 8 …

The M571 and the M577 were exceptions to the PC Chips rule. It works perfectly OK with 2x 32MB PC-100 SDRAM sticks. Guess would work OK with 3x 128MB, but I want 768MB if possible.
