ok i just spent 5 min typing all this out and it didnt even post the dang message...short and sweet version....i had 256mb of xms corsair ram in my computer.....i bought more..same exact stuff cept its a 512 stck...my computer boots up fine but runs about 5 times slower....i tried switching them and its still 486ish. i then took out the 256 and the computer ran fine off the 512. the computer working light seems to be dimmer since i put in the 512 and when i have both in it hardly even works (the light that is). whats the deal..my processor is lazY? should i spit on my mobo...change the bios..what do ya say??? thanks

oh yea...i downloaded that aida32 prgrm and it said my memory is running at 166mhz when it should be 333. i went to the bios and changed something to 333 but when i came back and ran the aida32 program again, it still said i was running it at 133. also when i boot up the computer it says somethin 333mhz.

well the computer says it can hold up to 2gb of memory so why is 772 such a problem?

i didnt miss your point i just think that if the power supply was a problem then all the lights on the computer would be dimmer, and that doesnt seem to be happening. the only reason i mentioned the LED wasnt as bright as it normal is because i thought maybe the processor wasnt working as hard....

thank you for everyones help... but lets not get off the subject, why is my computer slowing down when i add the same exact memory to the existing stick of RAM??? everyone that reads this just forget i said anything about the LED OK!!!
