Hi everyone
I have replaced my mobo for an asrock K7VT2 with Athlon 2400+ onboard. I purchased two stick of 1gb ddrpc3200 ram (Samsung 400mhz) and put in the two ddr ram slots. when booted up it showed as two stick of 512/226 ddr both in bios and windows. checked ram with aida32 and it showed correctly the 2x1gb slots but only running 2x512 also mem checker showed up no errors on ram. Cannot find anyway to tweak bios to get correct ram. I am running the latest bios as per asrock website whos FAQ cannot solve but confirm I can get up to 4gb onboard. Has anyone any ideas please
regards

Jump to Postproblem could be caused because you board don't support pc3200,it calls for pc2100 ,so it could be just a backward compatibility problem with the samsung pc3200.
see memory info on the sites .

Jump to Postnot saying this will help but if it were mine i would go into bios and set it to optimal setting and see what happens .
Jump to PostUnfortunately there is no optimal setting within the amibios otherwise would try it
try setting default settings this is same as optimal setting, i do believe
