I have a Gateway Athlon 700 with 584MB of memory. 1 256MB SDRAM chip

from my brother from his old computer. Replaced the 2 128 chips with
the 2 256MB chips, figuring no problems would occur. Lo and behold,
boot the system up and get: ... snip ...

If you have any system with ECC capability, you should ensure ALL
your memory is ECC memory. The ECC corrections won't work
otherwise. The few extra dollars will give you a reliable memory
system.

BTW, the numbers you posted indicate you have 512 M mounted now,
not 584.
