So before this turns in to another name calling match, Robert
(Varnam that is, always confusing on the list to have two people with same
name discussing something ;-) you seem to have put the upgrade chip in the
wrong slot and your 2000 was still working afterwards, so can you give us
some more details, like did you boot normally, how much RAM and Heap you
have etc.

P.S.
In my opinion it would help when people that make stunning claims,
that seem to be wrong or not easily believed by other people,
would take time to formulate their answers.
Once there's a disagreement on the list it doesn't really help to make the
exchanges shorter and shorter, as a rule of thumb it's counterproductive.
