Mixing Ram

[StarWarsPwns]

hmmm my monitor doesnt register that the computer is on. perhaps its my videocard? the comp seems to turn on fine tho.

Does it beeps after a while? wait 10 seconds. If your monitor works fine, it is not a video card issue. Perhaps it could be that the memory doesn't go together

crap.... I tried 2 different sticks... 1 512 stick and 1 256 Mb stick PC2700... damnit I spent a lot of money on that a RAM.

hmm...try both the 512MB and 256. If this goes well, maybe you have a memoy issue. You could return the 1GB PC3200 and get a PC2700 if you want!

lol but they dont sell 1 Gb of PC 2700... sigh... thanks for your help

 

[lhuser]

Meh, just use the 1GB stick.

or you could get rid of the 512mb pc2700 and buy a pc 3200 512 stick. The corsair value ram is only like 50 bucks on newegg.

Seroously, I have never got that fr for this problem. I have never got that far for solving it. If you want to buy this RAM too, do it. But if you don't, then don't. Thst was the furthest I could get as far for this thing. It's like an urban ledgend
