- Unless your CMOS keeps reseting itself, don't worry about it, CMOS is very
- volitile, it erases VERY easy, you probably zapped it when you replaced the memory
- simms, just set it back to your setting, and everything will be fine...and yes,
- it is possible your CMOS data was corupted in some way giving you a parity error
- (3 beeps) and having reset it, took care of the problem...
