New 512MB memory only likes slot 1?
My Socket A motherboard has 2 memory slots and I upgraded my computer
to 1 gig. What is weird is the new 512MB PC2700 memory (K-byte brand) only works if its in slot 1. After numerious reseatings and cleaning dust out of slot 2 with no luck in getting the memory recognized I moved the old 512MB PC2700 memory into slot 2 and the new memory into slot 1 and it works. Do some brands of memory only like slot 1? Tom |

I bet if you dropped the clock rate down to 133MHz (PC 2100) it would work fine. In the future buy from Crucial. |
