GA 7N400 Pro2 - Memory Problem

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

Hi there,

I've been using my current setup for the past months and decided to
try out a memory boost. I've been running an AMD 3000+ (32bit) on my
board, with 1gig of ram (OCZ PC3500 Dual Kit, 2x512MB (I realise the
motherboard only supports PC3200 so it's running as such) and
everything's been swimmingly.

Keeping with the setup, I bought another dual kit of OCZ PC3200 this
time, 2x512MB.

However, when I go to install them, both the BIOS, System Info in
Windows, and the boot screen shows that I only have the 1gig
operating. I tried swapping in a friend's 4 512 pieces of 3200 which
work on his computer (different board), with no luck. I also made
sure these two new chips worked by having only them in and they work
fine.


Am I missing a setting in my BIOS, or a jumper somewhere? Any help or
guidance would be appreciated... I'm baffled as to why its not
working.

Thanks for the help.

I am assuming that both sets of RAM are Dual SIded (meaning they have
chips on both sides), If this is the case, they WILL NOT WORK. You
can use 2 DS RAM, and 2 SS (Single Sided) RAM
