Motherboard or memory problem

[silverchair]

i posted this issue on cpu forum section but i will post it here too so maybe someone can help me

I have a lil problem that maybe some of you can resolve, i have an ASRock motherboard , Conroe865GV with pentium D 2.8Ghz that supoorts ddr 400 333 266, and im using Major DDR 266 memory 1Gig 133 Mhz.

BEfore im using my memory in ECS 741gxm and it runs properly, but when iu use it to ASRock motherboard my memory turned down to 512Mb.

Ist a memory problem? A motherboard problem or is just not compatible??

Unfortunately, neither the RAM nor the MB seem to be high quality, so it could be a problem with either. Since your memory worked OK in the previous MB, I'd contact your new MB maker's tech support.

Believe it or not i already contact them and they dont know the reason and solution for this. actually same thing when i use the RAM to ECS 761GXM. but in ECS 741GXM and ECS KM400-M2 it appears 1GIG of RAM.

Since your memory does a similar thing in two different models of MBs, I would go ahead and get it replaced under warranty from your memory vendor.
