Just got my newly built computer up and running.
ASRock P43Twins1600 mobo
Intel E7200 2.53ghz (overclocked to 3.0)
XFX 9800 GTX+
OCZ Fatal1ty 2x2gb ddr2 1066 PC2(8500)
Everything seems to be working well, but I am having serious problems with the memory. First it only runs at ddr2 800. When I try to turn it up to 1066 manually in the bios it refuses to boot. I can deal with it running a little slower, but what I don't like is that it only registers as 3.18gb of ram in XP (and on boot screen). In the bios, it recognizes the full 4gb, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly past that. The timings seem correct, but I don't know all that much about timings. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. (First time computer builder)
Thanks,
John
