Hi I tried to build me own super dooper pc today .All of the components have been fully tested and work with other pcs .I'm using a Asus K8N-E Deluxe mobo and when I tried to fire it up using a 1Gb DDR PC 3200 (NCP NC00828) the drated thing wouldn't work . Stuck in a 256Mb memory stick and whoopee the pc works .
The 1Gb stick I bought is supposed to be compatible with the chipset on the board . Is there anyway I can get it to work . I tried putting the 256 and the 1Gb in the mobo and it wouldn't play .
Any bright ideas .
I'll be buggered if I'm going to give me sister 2Gb (yup I got 2 of em ) of memory while I limp along with 528Mb .

What does Crucial's website say you should use?

... cheap is not always good.

oops, bad!!

Why did you buy a 754

Well I think its to do with money . When I started buying bits for me pc 939 cpu's were well out of my price range and so were the mobos and the PCIE graphics cards .

A 754 with an athalon 64 3400 with L2 cache 1Gb is more than adequate for me to play with , the mobo I got was highly recommended here aswell . As for graphics , same again AGP8 is good enough .

The 2Gb memory works just fine in 4 othere boards that I've built with 4 different cpu's 3 athalons and 1 intel . Just don't seem to work with K8N-E .

The Asus socket 754 K8N boards only seem to like 512mb ram modules, and don't like accepting the 1gb modules...

Had a couple of these boards over the past 2 years play naughty with me on this score...

Thanks crazylegs . Ah well back to the drawing board .
