Memory Problems

[blobrana]

Hum,
1) Sounds like the two memory sticks are incompatible...

(That’s one of the main reasons why they usually sell them in pairs)

2) Though it could be the synchronous / asysncronous settings perhaps in the bios..

3) those mobos are usually ok, but are you sure that they support the higher amounts without dropping down  to sd-ram (i just assumed it was DDR - and some mobos just allow one DDR)

4) could be a bios update you need - check out the gigabyte website...

Yeah,
i`m now sure that when the boards came out that i gb sticks didn`t exist so that they could only have a max of 2 x 512 /1gb .


asynchronous means that information is read seperatly, improving the read/write speed by 10-20%, the data is split between the two sticks, it doesn`t work tri-syncronously (that hasn`t been invented yet)

[if your in the bios, you could try differant CAS Ratings (2 being the fastest read speed setting), try slowing it down to 3...
