Well you can still run it with only 768MB of RAM... just won't be as fast... and what exactly do you mean by " Would someone now what the best solution would be when I get new ram"? best solution for what? getting new RAM IS the solution... Thanks * somethink like this test-----pass-----failing adress------good----bad---error bits---count 6--------0--------0001007b1200----0020000--000200001--200000---4--1 Since I removed the two (faulty)everything seems to be stable * the sticks where in the machine for more than a year. * tested on the same slots without changing slots *768 MB is to low for work I am doing from time to time *"Would someone know what the best solution would be" mixing of brands?, sizes?, type? the ones remaining are: 1/ACEplus 256MB PC2700 1/VDATA DDR266(2.5) 512MB Regards G	notechyet (4479)

(Just to be sure it is the RAM and not the mobo's RAM slots often happens and you go buy new RAM and you can't use it...) It doesn't matter how long it was in there for, there is and always will be a chance it can die at anytime... but 2 sticks going faulty at the same time (even diff brand etc) has me suspicious of the motherboard's RAM slots... What sort of CPU, mobo etc? I am guessing you can only run DDR266? I would say unless you want MAX performance (which by the DDR266 is not the case) go for some Kingston ValueRAM or ADATA stuff, size is up to you and how much you want... I personally prefer to have all the same brand, model etc, saves the possible dissliking of different modules.	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Thanks for you reply * I will try the ram in the different slots t'night * the motherboard is an ALBATRON PX865PE PRO, P4 CPU, 4memory slots which use 184pin DDR SDRAM * I would prefer the same brand etc. of RAM and had a quick look at Price spy, just not easy to find the VDATA DDR266(2.5) CPU: Number of CPU(s) One Physical Processor / One Core / One Logical Processor Vendor GenuineIntel CPU Full Name Intel Pentium 4 CPU Name Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz CPU Code Name Northwood Technology 0.13µ Platform Name Socket 478 Type Original OEM processor FSB Mode QDR Platform ID 2 Microcode ID 37 Type ID 0 CPU Clock 2393.39 System Bus Clock 531.86 System Clock 132.97 Multiplier 18.00 Original Clock 2400.00 Original Bus Clock 533.33 Original System Clock 133.33 Motherboard: Model Springdale Chipset Vendor Intel Corporation Chipset Model 82865G/PE/P, 82848P DRAM Controller / Host-Hub Interface South Bridge 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) LPC Interface Bridge SMBus Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) SMBus Controller @0500 CPU Intel Pentium 4 Cpu Socket Socket 478 Processor Upgrade ZIF Socket Max CPU Speed 3066 MHz System Slots 4 PCI, 1 AGP Memory Summary Capacity 768 MBytes Location System board or motherboard Maximum Capacity 4096 MBytes Memory Slots 4 Error Correction 8-bit Parity Error Correction Capabilities None Name Physical Memory Array Use System memory Maximum Memory Module Size 1024 MBytes Regards G	notechyet (4479)
518691	2007-01-24 23:48:00	As long as the RAM is DDR you will get away with it. ie DDR400 modules will work, but will only run at DDR266. Heh, similar to my work PC... just a tad slower in the CPU Are you sure it is VDATA? I know there is ADATA, but I have never heard of VDATA...	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
518692	2007-01-25 00:44:00	You should run them weekly... that is the best. Elaborate on the error a little more Are you serious bud........? LOL:groan:	SolMiester (139)
518693	2007-01-25 01:18:00	Are you serious bud........? LOL:groan: At it again??? :annoyed: How often do you run your virus, adware, spyware scanners? if ever... (I was talking about the software scanners, NOT hardware testers...)	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

All (virus, adware, spyware scannes) are done weekly with the necessary updates. And, it is VDATA memory. G	notechyet (4479)

But good running software scanners weekly is the best thing to do. Hmm... a no name brand... I see there are two rerefences of it on Pricespy...	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
