Wired Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Corsair Memory Compatible with the Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-SLI Gigabyte GA-K8N Ultra-SLI Specifications That memory houldn't be compatible with that motherboard. What is the BIOS reporting in terms of memory size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepster Posted November 10, 2006 Author Share Posted November 10, 2006 The bios has no area for mem size. Just clock speeds. Using sandra lite 2007 says 4 gig ready to go but windows only shows 3 I will attach a screen shot. As far as compatibility I have gamed for many hours with no problems. I was using XP Pro 32 bit and just installed xp pro 64 bit think it would fix the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 11, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 11, 2006 I am sorry but that MB does not support those modules and I am surprized it boots at all. Please see if your reseller will let you send them back for the correct modules isted in our memory configurator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creepster Posted November 19, 2006 Author Share Posted November 19, 2006 These Modules as you call them work just fine they just dont all show up. No blue screens. No lockups. Speed is correct. Just windows doesnt show all 4 gigs as being utilized.This PC is a year old with no other problems. Thanks for your input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 20, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 20, 2006 Like I said this platform will not support registered memory they may work but they will not work properly, and if you are using WinXP 32 Bit you eill not see the full 4 Gig of memory! if its Winxp 64, there should be a setting in the bios to remap the memory and you will need to install the O.S. again to see it properly!

Creepster Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 I was wrong. The memory I had was server memory . Dont ask me how I got it to work but it did. Replaced it with CMX1024 3200 and all is well. Showes 4 gig in bios and windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
