Ram works better if it is all from the same manufacture...Ram also needs to be the right kind...with the right specs...for your particular Main Board.

Chillin1 · 11-23-2008, 10:56 PM

yeah im pretty sure they are the right kind.. and specs.

Chillin1 · 11-23-2008, 11:27 PM

Kingston 512MB 333MHz DDR Non-ECC CL2.5 DIMM RAM (KVR333/512R)

is the kingston memory. im sure they are the right specs because it detected only one of the 256mb chips but not the other.

Does the Kingston configurator....Tell you that the memory is compatible with your main board?

62 MT MT8VDDT3264AG-335C4 256MB MT 46V32MB SS 32X8 333 2.5 2

What happens if you just put those 2 in?
See if this looks like your board> http://www.foxconnchannel.com/produc...D=en-us0000034
If you have 4 ram slots you should be running ram in matched pairs so you get the much faster dual channel operation, operation in dual channel will provide better performance then adding more ram making it slower single channel.

If that looks like your board D/L the manual from here starting on page 19 of the pdf file covers Ram configurations. > http://www.foxconnchannel.com/suppor...D=en-us0000001

hey wrench i really appreicate your help man. so should i take out my one 512mb card and put in the pair of 256mb cards?

**wrench97** · 11-25-2008, 04:30 PM

I would the 512 in dual channel will give you better results then 768 in single mode and look for a pair of 512's or another pair of 256's.
