Hi there folks
Recently my Asus board died, an m2npv-vm I had with an Athlon 64 x2 4600+ processor, and two 1gig modules of Kingston ddr2 memory (model#:KVR667D2N5K2). After doing some research, I bought a Gigabyte ga-m52L-s3p board, which according to the manual and online info, supports my old processor and memory.
After installing it, everything was fine until I realized that in system properties only 1gig was being recognized. Have already tried first both sticks on the yellow slots... then just one... then the other... then one in the yellow and one in the red slot... then both on the red slots... then one... then the other... Its recognizing only 512mb off of each module, both in the bios (which I updated) and winXP.
Both the processor and both memory modules have been tested and are working fine.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I'm kind of clueless right now, and there seems to be no (evident) option in the bios to help me with this, although to be honest half the options there seem a little bit scary for me to meddle with!!
Needless to say, this is very frustrating.
any thoughts (or warnings)?
thanks for your help.
