Hello all,

I have tried installing more than 512 megs of ram on my motherboard and
gotten errors. Anyone else have these problems or a possible solution?

Thanks, Vic

Is the initial 512megs already in two sticks and you're attempting to
add a third? If that's the case then they have to be run at 333MHz
rather than 400MHz due to an oddity of the Athlon 64's memory controller.

Barry,

Thanks, they are each 512 megs. How do I get the bios to view them as
333's or would it just be more advantages to stick to 512 at 400?

Thanks again

You'll have to turn the memory bus speed down in the BIOS. Personally
I'd rather have the memory at 400MHz than have more.
