quick setup question...

[Tommunist]

I was just asked for assistance with someone who is trying to get a system running and it won't post. The specs I have so far are....
P4 2.4b
2 128 rdram
2 256 rdram
2 hd
2 cd drive
ati 7500
asus mobo (the one with the 845E chipset)

Now he only has a 330watt PSU. I'm not really sure if this is enough for this sort of setup although the ati 7500 may use a lot less power than I think. He has tried plugging in other GPUs and reseating the chip and making sure the ram is snug. Any ideas???

It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.

rdram will not work with the 845e chipset u need the 850e
the 845e uses ddr

i meant 850...my bad. problem solved. apparently this board only taks 4 sticks of the same size. i'm unfamiliar with intel stuff, is that common?
