Memory Question

Yep a bus to town

really so u can eat a bus to............?

who needs chips when u can have a 'bus to town!'

 

[psd99]

rite just put in in and tested it
bit of a weird result!

when I had this:

Slot 1 : 512 pc2100
Slot 2 : 512 pc2100
Slot 3: 1gb pc3200

the computer did not bootup I got a long beep from the speaker....


So I tried this:

Slot 1: 1gb pc3200
Slot2: 512mb pc2100

in this state the pc started up as normal

it appears that if i just stick in a single stick in slot 3 or slot 4 of my motherboard the pc will not start up

so yes it did work as a combination
but i did see a problem, prehaps someone knows why slots 3 and 4 didnt work on their own or combined!?


well I am going to try stick back in the 1gb pc3200 into my other pc which already as 1gb pc3200 in it
im gona try sort out that problem sounds better option to me!

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, check out in your motherboard manual whic sticks you can stick in particul;ar memory sl;ots

if anyone knows off of the top of their heads, Flopps would do!

Nope. I gave the manual to you with the motherboard, remember?

So take a look in it

 

[psd99]

had a look nothing really tells me that there should be a problem when using just slot 3 on its own accord or slot 3 along with 1 and 2.

it does say that if i was to use slot 3 and 4 together the memory must be the exact same type
so im left with 0.5gb as a problem

pc1 : 1 X pc3200 1gb = 1gb ( had the problem with the memory slot 2, dont want to mess around with it much but none of my memory sticks worked on this slot

pc2: 1 X pc3200 1gb and 1X 512mb pc2100 = 1.5gb

so im left with one stick of 512mb which at the moment is quite useless

Seriously, I'd just use the one stick of 1Gb PC3200 with the Gigabyte board, it's hardly worth slowing it down with the half a Gig of PC2100.

Then maybe sell the two x 512Mb of PC2100, although I'm not sure you'd get much for it.
