I RMA'd 3 mobos back to the vendor with the exact
same symptom. New ddr ram would not work in those
boards. The ram seemed very hard to clip into the boards. I had another
computer with ddr ram in it, and
when it was down one evening, I tried that ram in one
of the new Gigabyte mobos, and it worked. Then I
tried the new ddr ram, and I could plainly see that the
ram simply would not seat in the slots no matter what
I tried. I kept that mobo, and sent the ram back. Then
I ordered Kingston ddr400 ( 1 gig pair ) thinking it must
be a "quality" problem with the ram. Guess what? The
Kingston ram did not fit. So, I called Kingston, and they
said that the Kingston ram should fit that Gigabyte mobo. The mobo is for
the AMD64, and the chipset
is nVidia ( not VIA garbage ), and is one of their best.
What is going on here? There seems to be a problem
in China with "standards". The mobo works fine with
ram modules from ADVANCED or VERITECH (
I think ). I have other ram modules that simply will not
go in the slots. Where is the standard .. the mobo, or
the ram ?
