Re: new memory - detecting problem

did you purchase the correct ram and can the motherboard handle it. do you have both the 128 and 512 installed?

What motherboard do you have or what computer make/model? or you can go to crucial.com and run their system scan. It will see what ram you have and will tell you what it can use.
