Re: Problems installing RAM

Formerly? What does it cost now?
In relation to this thread, it seems to be missing one vital piece of info,
the speed of each RAM chip.
As Brian said, that MB supports DDR400/333/266/200.
All RAM chips should be the same speed, and jumpers likely need to be set if
you switch to different speed RAM chips.

Everest is a formerly free program that scans your hardware and tries
to produce actual makes, models, and web links for each piece of
hardware in your system. It does other things, as well but that's
basically what it does in relation to this thread.

What is Everest?
Try the cpuz program I mentioned. It tells you what speed each of your
RAM
chips are.
If you have 400 DDR and 333 DDR chips they won't work right together.
If you switch one speed to another you should need to switch a jumper on
your MB.
