| 211970 | 2004-02-01 00:56:00 | Hey guys, I would like to know why i cant run both my ram card things together, I have one 256mb and one 128mb. This is what it says on the white sticker on them. 256 : P32M648HGH - 75A 256MB PC2100 DDR 0236 N 3 4 3 7 8 128 : P16M648HH7 - 75A 128 PC2100 DDR 0213 N 3 3 2 1 2 I am running Windows Xp and i have an Asus Motherboard and a Pentium 7 1.7ghz. I would like to know if it is possible to run both these rams at the same time so i get better performance (i hate slow computers) Thankz, hsv-b0y |

| 211973 | 2004-02-01 01:53:00 | lol if you have 2 ram slots go ahead, it should work since you've tested them both | Megaman (344) | ||
| 211974 | 2004-02-01 01:56:00 | Oh and ive tryed running them before, but when i do it either reads sum random amount, somthing pathetic like 90000k, and then starts up Or it reads the right amount and then says theres a corrupt file and windows cant start. And does anyone happen to know how to increase the amount of mb the intergrated graphics can use? |

| 211975 | 2004-02-01 02:09:00 | ohhh... problem. htto://www.memtest86.com is a memory testing program. with 1 stick of ram download it, put it on floppy. then turn the computer off, put both sticks in, put the floppy in, and turn on. it will test and stress the ram to find any errors |

| 211976 | 2004-02-01 02:27:00 | they may just be incompatible. try another make. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 211977 | 2004-02-01 04:06:00 | what brand exactly are they? | Megaman (344) | ||
| 211978 | 2004-02-01 04:20:00 | They are both spectek ram chips. I did that memtest, together they were full of errors but by them selves they were ok. |
