Thanks for the info...this will help a lot.

Trying to come up with a mneumonic for Post error codes. Here is what I have...please suggest improvements:

Write down:

100,
200,
300
400,
500,
600,
1700

Use the mneumonic:

Sweetie Maria, Kiss Me Closely For Heavenssake

The first letter of the above sentence helps in remembering the order:

100 Series ( 100-199): System Board or Motherboard
200 Series ( 200-299): Memory or RAM
300 Series ( 300-399): Keyboard
400 Series ( 400-499): Monochrome Video
500 Series ( 500-599): Color Video
600 Series ( 600-699): Floppy Drive
1700 Series ( 1700-1799): Hard Drive
Any better ideas?

Here are alternatives suggested by members in this thread:

Thank you very much, after reading the mneumonic every thing was so easy to remember.
