that right they are both running together at the mo. but i just want the 333 one to work by itself, thats when i get the problems of my system not booting.i know my motherboard is ok and the memory is ok cause it will work perfect along side my other stick @ 266mhz. i was thinking that maybe the fsb on my cpu is only 266 and it aint compatible with 333mhz memory. what do u think???
It should be fine as long as you have set the timings correctly in BIOS.
A couple of ideas:
- Some motherboards prefer you to put RAM into certain slots. Have you tried switching slots?
- The 333 RAM may be defective at 333MHz while still operational at 266MHz. Try it in another 333MHz machine if you can.
ok i shall try this tomorrowow. i need sleep. cheers for help guys, shall post if still stuckQuote:
