Why ram only shows 256k? It's 512.
Need some advice, pls. Just opened, new, sleeve of Kingston HyperX, 512
mg, PC3500. Installed in my Asus A7N8X "New version" from Newegg. Been running 6 weeks +/- fine with 2/128, Crucial, pc2100 and 1/256, Corsair, pc2400; cpu was a 2100+ at 11X190~ 2100. Changed to Barton, 2500, week 3 of '04 (talk about new!) and changed ram to the King. 512, 3500. Problem is system recognizes ram as 256, Sandra sees 256. Am I missing something such as a setting somewhere? Cmos is set to auto for cpu and ram----it sets 166 fsb & 11 for mult, and cpuid sees 1837--11X167. Someone help? Thanks, s |

Try installing the new RAM one stick at a time and booting up. That'll tell
you if one of the sticks is defective. -- DaveW "sdlomi2" wrote in message ... Need some advice, pls. Just opened, new, sleeve of Kingston HyperX, 512 mg, PC3500.

Does that indicate the problem? If so, what would be the solution, or can it be run as a lesser ram? If so, what would it run as? Thx, sdlomi |

Eight days ago I had bought a stick of Kingston 256mb 266mhz PC2100 and it
would allow my new computer to partially setup win xp and then errors would appear. I emailed Kingston and they told me to just exchange the ram at the store where I purchased it from. I did today and the new one is running well. In those 8 days I bought a different brand of ram to make sure that it was defective ram and not something that I had done wrong. That was the week of h#ll for me and that darn computer so I basically bought everything again so I could find the problem. Maybe you have defective ram so don't rule that out! Of course the store I exchanged that stick of ram did not even check inside of it, so maybe someone switched ram and you really have a 256mb stick! AND NO, IT WASN'T ME!! lol later, dave "DaveW" wrote in message news:_nxZb.91410$uV3.554318@attbi_s51... Try installing the new RAM one stick at a time and booting up.
