i really only need a simple question answered. i just upgraded..new specs in my sig. and i started with 2x PNY 512mb DDR400...now that was dual channel. i recently added 2x256mb ProMos DDR400 BUT The 256mb sticks were only one sided as the 512's were dual sided. with the bios that came with my board it would beep twice signaling a ram error but then it would work and load into windows. i recently updated the bios {6/7/06} and now it wont boot at all if i leave the ram the way it was. it isnt dual channel anymore and its only running the 4 sticks at ddr333...it sucks.. i want my dual back .
so on with the question. im keeping my 2x 512's no doubt. im gonna yank the other 2 sticks for now. QUESTION: is it not working because i have 2 sticks double sided and the other 2 single sided.? or is it not working cause all 4 sticks arnt 512mb?
i heard people have managed it working with 2x512 and 2x256 ALL DOUBLE SIDED working in half dual channel and half single channel so whats wrong?
so right now im just running my 2x 512mb in dual channel.....i think the problem is that all sticks are not double sided...is that true? if it is ill go out and get 2x 256mb's that are double sided and it should work fine.
