-I'm just going to take a stab at it, but you probably have to install
all 128's in order to get it to work if you want more than one stick.
Some boards will take one higher stick but not if filling more than one
slot. You could probably put 3 128 sticks in or one 512 or 256 but not
two 256 or 512. I have run across this with hp computers alot. Just a
suggestion though. -
