No not yet

Ok i did the SIW audit. I came up and said that the maximum capacity is 1024mb for 4 slots of ram. ( 1024 / 4 = 256) So it is still saying that my 256mb stick is being read as a 128mb stick.

yea.....the 384mb is in System Properties,

I never thought about the 64mb being bad modules...ill look into that...

well like the manuel says that I could have up to 1gb of RAM, I should have 512??? I have 2 64mb's, 1 128mb, and 1 256mb sticks, and its only measuring the 256 as 128 giving me 384???

What would happen if I put 256mb PC133mhz in a motherboard that only supported PC100??? I think its cutting my memory in half and only giving me 128mb instead of 256

cn i just overclock the cpu or do I have to overclock the ram too... because in the links it gives you thats what it talks about

yeah I had a similar problem.......i had 3 128 mb RAM PC133 so i bought a 256mb and it only reports 384mb??? why i dont know, but i SUDDEST GOING TO WWW.CORSAIRMEMORY.COM they have a online "checker"...

I know all that i just want to understand why my motherboard is not reading the full 256mb *stick*:D



Its really annoying of going through all of this trouble to get half of what you payed...

I used www.corsairmemory.com and I entered the type of motherboard I had and it told me that it was possible to put in 256mb?????

Check it out for yourself.......
...

Ok i followed your instructions to every detail.......

except it only read half of the memory.......so instead of 256 mb it is 128 mb......


Im going to try to move the RAM to different slots,...

Thanks a lot.......I will be traveling out to purchase one soon
