Default RAM upgrade on MS-6577 M-ATX Rev. 3.1 motherboard

As with earlier types of DIMM memory, there are both high density (not many
chips per DIMM) and low density (lots of chips, usually 2x or 4x the number on a
DIMM of comparable size). The porblem could be caused by use of high density
PC3200 which the motherboard simply won't recognize. High density and low
density DIMMs often have different timings.

Just another spin on the problem... Ben Myers

That's what I've got and it doesn't work. That is the origin of my
question. I've got 2 sticks of 1GB PC3200 which should be
compatible. The question is why doesn't it work?

In my previous reply ( from HP site) and in the crucial link,
(

)
they both mention
PC 2-7-0-0 memory
not PC 3-2-0-0

So although the ebay guy said it would work , the HP box doesn't seem to
recognize it at all, right ?
go with PC2700

search google for " pc2700 pc3200 " and you'll find lots of others having
issues too.
