I reciently built a new system and now when I tried to add another 512mb of RAM the system wont reconize it.
My system is:Chaintech VNF3-250 Zenith Value Edition Mobo
AMD Sempron 2800 socket 754
XFX nVidia FX 5200 8x APG
Segate 200Gb S-ATA 150 Hard Drive
Windows XP Pro
512Mb Ultra PC3200 400MHz DDR (what I started with)
512Mb Viking PC3200 400MHz DDR (new)
My computer does not have any trouble when all the memory is installed it just simply doesn't reconize 1024Mb of memory just 512Mb.
I have tried running with just the Ultra or just the Viking memory without problems and tried running the memory in difrent slot configurations 1&2,1&3 With both sticks in each slot MoBo book doesn't suggest slots 2&3 unless it is "in single sided module"(I dont know what that means).
The only thing that I see difrent in the memory is the Ultra uses sixteen 32Mb modules on both sides of the card while the viking uses eight 64Mb modules on one side of the card (is this single sided ?)
PS. I bought the Viking memory over the Ultra when I upgraded b/c it was $10 cheeper
