I have an older MB, Intel Quad 9550 ( needing to upgrade when I can ) Win 7 Home Prem 64, MSI 760 Gaming. The MB supposedly supports 8 MB I have 2 Corsair 2MB Modules installed. I recently got 2 crucial ballistix vlp 4mb modules. I installed the pair of crucial and could not get to work. ) I did not change timings. Gave up for awhile. Installed the 2 4mb modules last night, changed the timings to 9 9 9 24. It worked, and all 4 modules are reporting in sandra and windows, for a total of 12mb.

Does any one knowledgeable have any ideas for this, is it a problem waiting to happen ? are there some better recommended timings I should try ?
