Thanks Mike, I found the bad stick of ram, unfortunately this computer has a 
strange obsession about sticks of ram being in pairs!? So I can't use the 
other good stick of 32MB (There were 2 other good stick of 32MB).
Gone from 128MB to 64 - Ouch!
I have found another 2 sticks of 16MB in my spars box so that makes 96MB not 
too bad I suppose.
