dvgeek Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I have a TWINX that I had purchased from NewEgg.com on 1/29/04. I just never got around to installing them. Recently I have tried installing them on ASUS P4P800Dlx with a 3.2Ghz P4 and on GigaByte KNXP with a 3.4GHz P4. On both the systems I get beeps (memory error) when I power on. Its the same on both systems. Both the systems are fine with generic unbranded memory - but when I install the Corsair memory in place of the generic memory - I get the same error and the system(s) do(es) not boot. I have tried clearing the ROM (physically by removing the battery) but even this extreme measure does not help. The POST does not complete. I have 7 systems 2 x P4 Prescott's, 2 x DualP4XEON's, 1 x P4 Northwood, 1 x Dual P3. All self built - and have had no memory or MB problems. As the error is common on both motherboards - I have to suspect the memory. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recommended Modules for the Asus P4P800 Deluxe Recommended Modules for the Gigabyte GA-K8NNXP neither board supports this memory as it's REGISTERED and ECC.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted January 31, 2005 Corsair Employee Share Posted January 31, 2005 Unfortunately the TwinX1024RE-3200LL or CMX512RE-3200LL modules will not be compatible with the ASUS P4P800 Dlx socket 478 motherboard. This motherboard only supports unbuffered DDR modules, not registered modules. Please go back to the place where you bought it from and tell them that you needed a TwinX1024-3200LL or CMX512-3200LL, without the "RE", RE simply stands for registered memory modules; and any of our products that have "RE/R/RLP" will tell you that it is a registered memory module! Hopefully this answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
