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

I had 256MB of DDR PC3200 installed and wanted more. I thought I
found a good deal on ebay 2 sticks of 1GB DDR PC3200 made my NCP. Ad
stated that it was new. I install either or both of the sticks in
either or both of the slots and get a beep and the computer won't
start. Online chat with compaq (who made the 'puter) recommended BIOS
upgrade--didn't help. it still works with the original stick of RAM.
Any thoughts? Did I get bad RAM?

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,
(
http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...SR1010V+Series
)
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.

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

I thought you said you had Kingston RAM. The link is for Crucial.
Crucial is guaranteed to work.
