| 350929 | 2005-05-01 02:38:00 | Hi All, I have recently purchased a stick of 512mb DDR PC3200 RAM for my PC. For some strange reason it seems to detect it as 256mb. I can't begin to think what the problem might be. SOMEBODY HELP ME PLEASE!!!! (I said please) |

| 350930 | 2005-05-01 02:45:00 | Is the RAM that you bought compatible with your motherboard? If possible, could you please (I did say "please", too) post the specs of it? Cheers :) |

| 350932 | 2005-05-01 02:54:00 | odds are you have got single sided ram and you need dual sided. your mobo manual (or website) will tell you what the max ram you can install. |

| 350935 | 2005-05-01 03:13:00 | maybe it IS a 256mb stick that got labelled as 512mb?? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 350936 | 2005-05-01 04:05:00 | Suggest get an independent opinion,have you got Everest Home Edition installed?, if so what does that tell you? It usually advises all details plus if there is a problem. | FrankS (257) | ||
| 350937 | 2005-05-01 07:01:00 | try memtest86+ (http://www.memtest.org/) and see what it says. maybe bios upgrade time? |
