ShuckyD Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 well i had two 512 sticks of DDR400 XMS memory in my system, the ones with the black heat spreader, but i just bought another stick to add to the two, which in theory would make it have 1.5 gigs. But for some reason when i boot with the memory installed, it recognizes it as 512 megs? My board is set up with 4 slots for memory (A1, A2, B1, B2) currently i have the A1, and the B1 slots taken up, since thats what the manual said to do if you just running 2 sticks... well i have all 3 sticks in front of me, well the 2 sticks i had in there were revision 6.1 CL2.5, and revision 5.1 CL2 (ran 1gig fine) and this new stick is Revision 5.2 CL2... but the cl2 and the 2.5 work fine in there together, i bought them from the same place each time, guess they just keep changin the revisions on me I also tried putting the CL2.5 in sloot A1 and followed with the 2 sticks of Cl2, because i was told to try that and clear the cmos just 2 see if it worked? any suggestions woudl be greatly appreciated heres where i was before i found out about RamGuy http://www.techimo.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1581740#post1581740 :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted July 20, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted July 20, 2005 I am sorry but these are not he same part# and with this MB if you use more than one module all of them would need to be matched both in part# and revision.
