Need an answer fast.

I've this mobo (KM400 - Athlon XP platform) with only 2 RAM slot.

I've installed a new DDR PC3200 512 MB - double sided into the mobo and the existing PC3200 256MB - single sided, is not detected at all. The 512MB is already using the first slot and the 256MB in 2nd slot.

Is it becoz single sided/ double sided conflict? Limitation of mobo? Pls don't ask me to refer mobo manual coz the manual is useless with half a page telling me to that the RAM slot is to install DIMM RAM and nothing else.

Thanks.

you can always read manuals from other board manufacturer that uses the same chipset

according to this site

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mai...ail.php?UID=610

KM400 supports up to 4 memory banks .. in theoretically.. u can use 2 double sided RAM...

if that board ur using follow the design guideline by VIA.. it should be able to work.. unless its board/chipset limitation.. as u have put it.. or something else..

sorry...u gotta try with other RAM to find out more...

My problem is, it detects only the double sided 512MB and not the 256MB. I read somewhere that double sided takes up two channel or something like that?? The mobo is an ASUS.

Anyone has similar experience
