So I bought this stick today (CORSAIR VALUERAM DDR PC-3200 MEMORY 1GB), and promptly put it in my comp. The computer started beeping and carrying on so I took it out, then it worked again. I took my old RAM out, and left just the new stick now its running really well.

This is my old RAM, 2 512 sticks of GeIL 1 GB PC3200 DDR RAM (ge1gb3200bdc).

My motherboard is an ASUS a8ve-deluxe. Now the difference between the new RAM and the old is astonishing, it was lagging and being absolutely horrible for ages. Is there a way to get these two 512 sticks to work with the new 1 gb? I don't know if its worth it but it'd be good to have there for the time being.

I've noticed the latency is very different for each stick as well -

new RAM - 3-3-3-8
old - 2.5-8-4-4-4

Could this have something to do with it?
