Mozzer51 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I recently bought a 512Mb stick of Corsair Value Select PC3200 (VS512MB400C3) to go into my system (Abit KV7 with Athlon Xp 3200+, Radeon 9600XT 128Mb). I already have a 256 Mb Corsair Value Select stick (VS256MB400) in it. I bought the 512 Mb stick to boost my system. I inserted the new stick of RAM, rebooted many times and can only detect the 512Mb stick. Can you help me read off both sticks, I really need the two to read otherwise my money will have been wasted. I currently have them in DIMM slots 2 & 3 and am only picking up the larger stick. Many Thanks if you can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 24, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 24, 2005 You would need to use 2 modules that are exactly matched in part#. But to be sure I would test the modules one at a time with http://www.memtest.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mozzer51 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 thanks for the help. However, it looks as though I shall be mailing the RAM back to aria.co.uk and asking if I can have a C3 version of the RAM in return. Hopefully this should work. BTW, what does the C3 stand for?
