i bought a new ram that is a kingston 1gb PC3200 CL3 184 pin DIMM, 2.6 volts
i am using this type of mainboard, i have my old ram plugged in the two orange slots (dual channel thingy)
when i plugin the new ram there is this long beeping sounds and my computer can't boot up,
i tried taking out the 2 old rams and pulggin in the new ram it works ( the enw ram is only one piece)
i was wondering if the new ram is not compatible with the old ram because the new one is 2.6V n the old one is 2.5V, or is it the CL3 or CL thingy...
i was wonerding also that if my ram only supports dual channel
i really need help on this thingy, i want to change my ram to a compatible one, any suggestion are welcome =D
