Resurrecting an old PC (in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:country-region w:st="on">Turkey</st1:country-region>) with some bits I had lying around in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">UK</st1:place></st1:country-region> (all proved working bits, including the old PC I started from) <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Changed MB from 8S651MP-RZ to the GA-8IPE1000MK. Installed (in A & B channels) the 2x 1GB RAM which was previously tested in the 8S651MP-RZ setup, on power up MB alarmed. Removed the RAM and replaced with 256MB (333MHz) and everything OK.
So why wont it accept 2x 1GB which I know work from the previous MB, also tried them 1 GB at a time but still alarm.<o:p></o:p>
So in short, all is working fine with with 256Mb (333) Ram, but not 2 x 1 GB (333), MB specs say it takes up to 4 GB (in 4 slots), any ideas?
Please dont say buy a real PC cos its in the UK!
Many thanks for you help TIM<o:p></o:p>
