Memory Failure Error During Boot With the Gateway Solo^TM

Issue: On Gateway Solos, when customers use the same size memory modules (4MB, 8MB, or 16MB) made from different vendors, the system experiences a "Memory failure" during the memory count on bootup.
Resolution: The two memory modules in the sockets must be identical. The vendors and chip numbers must be identical also, otherwise these failures will occur.
