[winston8569]

I HAVE A HUGH PROBLEM!!!!!!!!! ok i have 256MB's of DDR RAM 2100 right? right so i want some more, and i got a 512 chip of DDR today. Ok everything seems cool now i come home and put it in my computer. Then i boot up into windows and check my computer properties. and it says i have 768MB's of RAM. Sweet i'm thinking. then i go to open kazaa and i get this error that says "ReadProcessMemory() failed" and i'm like NOOOO. So i uninstall kazaa lite and start downloading the same one again when i decide to listen to my winamp. I open it up and play a song and it's choppy. now whenever i play a song it either play's really fast or normal or is choppy or gives me some dumb error... and i can't play Vice City either :( PLEASE HELP IN ANY WAY YOU CAN!!!!!!! THANKS

Try swiching the position of the ram modules. Try with the 512 in slot 0 and 256 in slot 1.

I not sure, but don't some motherboards require equal RAM chips? Like two 256's or two 512's.

Did you reset CMOS and register the chip in your BIOS? You didn't say what your system was but win2k for sure needs the 512's registered to work properly and win98 may not use it at all. XP I'm not sure about Cause I've never used a single chip that large yet.
DDR memory should be detected by your BIOS automaticaly. No need to reset the CMOS.

And Windows XP works fine with 512MB or more. In fact I have 1024 MB of DDR2700 - 333Mhz ram in my system.

Quote I found on a site:
Windows XP Professional ------ For corporate users. Supports -> 2 processors, 4GB memory.

I don't think you've mentioned what OS you're using, but if it's anything older than Win2000 this page might help...

I meant something like having my post changed from "experts" (not to be taken too serious) into experts (wow, these guys know a lot!), no pun intended. :)

I had a 600 Mhz celeron running windows 98se. It had a 128 mb and a 512 mb chip installed. I just added the 512 mb card into the next avaible slot. It worked fine. Now that same computer is running XP home with no problems. If I had to guess I would think that you had a problem with you BIOS or maybe even with something else on your motherboard. I hate to say this but try reading the manual and going to the website or calling the guys who made the computer. You won't be any less of a man if you do so
