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.

QUOTE(jinaun @ Jan 17 2007, 08:41 PM) 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=610KM400 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
