Please recommend Mem for Intel D865GLC

Dear RAM Guy and friends, This is an urgent request, as my return period is almost over. I'm new to PC assembly, so please bear with me... I recently bought an Intel motherboard D865GLC with Pentium-4 2.6GHz. I also bought the 1Gb TWINX XMS3200 (two CMX512 - 3200LLPT) based on its performance characteristics, unaware of possible compatibility issues that might arise. Sure enough, they did arise -- when I assembled the PC and installed Windows-XP, the system would experience frequent, sudden shutdowns -- just drops dead, no shut-down sequence or anything (I upgraded the BIOS, tested for Blaster virus and insalled all the patches, etc. to no avail). I subsequently tested with borrowed, lower-end memory from a different maker, and the problems went away. So, can I salvage the memory that I already bought -- 1Gb TWINX XMS3200 (two CMX512 - 3200LLPT)? If so, what are the appropriate BIOS settings? If not, which 1Gb memory should I buy for my Intel D865GLC motherboard (with P4 2.6 GHz) ? I wasn't planning on overclocking, just wanted something that would work out of the box. Best regards, Vitaly

We are sorry you are having trouble with our memory, The memory you have should be fine with this MB but you might find the system more stable if yourelax the timings and I would try Cass 2.5-3-3-6 and see if the system is stable if and If you think its the memory you can test it in another MB if possible, or please test the modules one at a time and you can use [URL=http://www.memtest86.com]Memtest86[/URL] to test it.
