Hey guys!

I own a homebuilt computer with Syntax SVX400 motherboard. I currently have 2x512 PC3200 cat3 RAM in it. I purchased another gig of RAM today (1xGB) and inserted it. To my surprise the comp wont boot up windows, however If I remove the 1GB stick, it boots fine, and if I leave the 1Gig in and just remove the other 2x512 sticks, it also boots up fine. The motherboard supports PC3200 DDR-SDRAM up to 3GB....So why won't it let me use 1x1GB and 2x512 sticks together??? I have 3 slots....They all have the same speed and latency...please help.
