Hi there,

perhaps someone can point me to some diagnostic software solving the
following problem:

I have just replaced the mainboard in my mother's pc, because the
former mb, "tomato 586" was not running stable at all.

Now, in this machine there is a "gigabyte s2" together with the Cyrix
200MHz processor and one 64MB memory bar, which I took both out of the
former mainboard and which worked.

The first thing occured was, that in a dos window, with or without
bash, the dos port of the UNIX vi editor exits with
"bash: C:/VIM/VIM63/vim.exe: Not enough memory (ENOMEM)"
I found out, that this problem can be avoided by _not_ loading the
cdrom drivers for the liteon ide cdrom and the yamaha scsi cd
recorder. - Anyway, this is not a preferred solution ;-)

Now I had to see that even picture publisher 5.0, which works on any
other machine I have, crashes when it comes to average memory usage.
So, it is no longer possible to seriously work with that application.

Can anyone tell me about some diagnostic software which can help to
see what's wrong with that box?

P.S. The former mb still exists, though I just planned to kick it
away, but I'd really dislike to admit, that I was talking crap and
that nasty old "tomato" garbage was better than the newly installed
gigabyte mb, and so I switched it back...

Any hint?

Thanks in advance,
best regards,

Markus
