Slow XP ?

[Pieter Cramwinckel]

After a memory upgrade (in the 1st slot was 256 mb, in the second I added
512mb double face), the bios recognized the upgrade correcly, but to my
surprise win XP pro was very very very slow slow .
I then took out the original 256 mb in slot 1 and left the 512mb in its
second slot , and win XP runs normaly (recognizes 480 mb).
Both memory sticks were "nobrand", same type PC 2700 same 333Mghz speed.
Why is windows XP so slow when the 2 were installed, and how to install it
again correctly ?.

(p.S. I have posted this 2 times already and my message gets deleted...why?

Pieter,

There are so many variables in memory matching to the logic board that half
the time no-brand memory is no deal at all. After running into problems like
this too many times, I now only buy PC memory from Crucial.com. It's not the
cheapest but they guarantee it will work or they will make it right for you.
