My computer mother board says it supports up to 1.5gb of ram and today I installed 2 512's and a 128 which equals out to 1.12gb and my computer is running fine. Is there any harm on doing this?
My processor is 999mhz and my ram is 1.12gb. HAHA!

2.0ghz althon xp 2400 cpus cost $70. cheaper than 512mb DDR Ram that's got a high mhz.
then its c0olio...
a friend of mine had a problem when he used 1 512mb stick and a 128.... he had to remove the 128 for the system to work properly.... seems that his computer was restarting often....
but if ur running fine...then ur fine

DWkSame thing happend to my friend's Geforce FX 5200 (heh it worked, but restarted like all the time). I talked to him on the phone while he was playing an online rpg called Raganok or something.. then it restarted on him and he was like... AWW Dammit! I probably got killed by some pk'r now.

Whats the Problem again?
Xan
Ok after turning off my computer and restarting a couple of times to make sure its working properly I have found that after my system boots and is running it will remain running fine without any problems. But some times I turn on the computer and it gets to the windows xp boot screen and frezzes at that spot. Then I just keep restarting untill it lets me into windows then its fine there on. is this a problem I can fix or is this a problem I cant fix but is ok .

Since nobody replied last post i guess ill try again but with another problem. When I have the full 1.12 gb of ram in my computer my mouse stops responding and my ethernet turns off/stops working. Could my memory have something to do with it. and one more thing,if I took my 128mb stick out and just left the 2 512s in there would I be able to tell the performance decrease?
