Guys, some questions here. My pc has been running 2x1gb 800mhz kingston ram since i first assembled it, on the 3rd and 4th slot in my mobo, today, the mobo suddenly had some continuous beeping sound and it wouldnt boot up. After some troubleshooting, i manage to get it boot up by changing the ram to the 1st and 2nd slot. After that, my system only registered 1gb ram plucked in while both of the rams were in. I took out both the ram, and reinstalled it, and finally got the system to read as 2gb ram. So, does it means that my ram is almost till the end of their life? Or it is my mobo ram slot problem? 1 more question is, if i were to upgrade my ram and i plan to keep both my old rams, what would be the best bet? add another 2 x 1g to make it 4gig runs in dual channel or just add another 1 x 2g, without dual channel?
