tprace Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I am currently running an ASUS K8N-E deluxe with a Athon 3200 and two sticks of the valueselect ram (VS512MB400, lot 0437013 for both.) This setup ran fine. Figuring I had another slot for ram, I wanted to add another gig so I purchased the value select 1 gig (VS1GB400C3, lot 0511104). When I had put the gig in bank 1 and the others in 2 & 3. My computer would not post. The 1 gig of ram by itself does run without any problems. Based on what I have read in the forums, apparenlty using 3 dimms is a bad idea. If running three sticks cant be done without a huge performance loss, what would be the better setup. The 1 gig by itself, or going back to the 2x512 setup. Thx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 It's a single channel motherboard, so I don't think there'll be much of a difference, although one stick may put slightly less strain on the chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
