Well this is odd... just checked out the motherboard manual to see if I could figure anything out-

"Supports 64/128/256/512 Mb technology up to 2 GB"

Obviously this means my 1 gig sticks are not compatable, but how in the world would I get 2 gigs with only two memory slots?

I'd hate to have two 1 gig strips go to waste... anyone know of a workaround/upgrade I can use to be able to use these strips?

no the m/b is confined to what it can run by the chipset

Ok, well I'm still having issues with the memory. I went out and bought 2 512 sticks and with both of these inserted the computer will boot up to the Windows loading screen, then after a few seconds it will restart. The only way I can actually get the computer to load is to use the old 256 stick with a 512, and even then it is spotty. Any ideas what to do?

try the new sticks 1 stick at a time
did you check the brand and stick is on the recommended list in the manual

One at a time doesn't work either, only when the 256 stick is in will my computer boot. I've tried all different combinations and slots and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. The slots are fine, I've tried the 256 in each slot and the computer will boot properly.

Also, the manual is pretty bad, doesn't say much at all about memory upgrades and doesn't have a recommended list either.

put the new sticks in and reset the cmos again and try it
