janmark Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I have used a 1GB TwinX Matched Memory Pair CMX512-3200 on my ABIT KD7 mobo without any appearent problems. Installing another pair however, this time CMX512-3200XL I have run into problems. First the computer did not find all memory, I got all different figures on how much memory was installed. On advice I raised a voltage from 2.55 to 2,75V and that got me my 2048MB. However I now get all kinds of problems with blue screens and Photoshop hanging repeatedly in different places, impossible to shut down. Can there be a problem with 3200 together with the 3200XL? Grateful for any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yes, they use different memory integrated controllers and as such will not work together well, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I am now using only the old pair and it seems to work as before. Is there any advantage in switching to the new XL pair instead?

Wired Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 The XL does have better timings, so it will perform a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
