Hello all,
Just purchased to what I figured was a simple swap and insert...
Except it's not being recognized.
It's currently on Windows 7 Ultimate.

Motherboard is a Intel Prague unit (version escapes me at the moment, I'll post again at a later time as I'm not near the computer in question...) BIOs was updated to the Vista driver.
Utilizes two 512MB PC2-4200 533mhz DDR2
Seems like a relatively easy swap and from what Google tells me, it supports up to a max of 2GB on this motherboard with each slot able to max out at 1GB.
So I purchased this:
- Komputerbay 2GB 2X 1GB DDR2 533MHz PC2-4200 PC2-4300 DDR2 533 (240 PIN) DIMM Desktop Memory CL 4
(http://www.amazon.com/Komputerbay-533MHz-PC2-4200-PC2-4300-Desktop/dp/B003PJG8K4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1380399090&sr=8-3&keywords=ddr2+ram+4200)
RAM gets swapped out and everything *should* be working.
System doesn't POST though and only beeps. It doesn't matter which slots I stick it in, system simply doesn't read it and there doesn't seem to be any BIOs setting regarding RAM. The only thing that I can see that MIGHT be an issue is that the new pair of sticks are low profile DDR2. Still, from what I can see, the specifications that the motherboard calls for means it should be able to read it though...
Thoughts?
