Macro Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi Well, after being very happy about my 1GB Corsair (2x 512 TWINX 3200XL PRO) for quite some time I bought two new Modules (2x 1GB TWINX 3200 C2). I tried to have them running in dual-channel mode so I was hoping to get 3GB. I used the slots as follows: Channel 1 - A: 1GB Channel 1 - B: 512MB Channel 2 - A: 1GB Channel 2 - B: 512MB Unfortunately Vista (after a fresh install) tells me that I am only using 1GB, so I removed the old 512 and now I got at least 2GB. So my question is, is it somehow possible to use my old modules? Maybe I've done something wrong? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 It's never recommended to mix different part numbers and/or different sizes and/or different latencies. Try the 512s in Channel A and vice versa. My work, may not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 7, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 7, 2007 What motherboard do you have and, do you have the latest bios installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macro Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 I am using an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe and I guess BIOS version 1002. I was trying to update the bios but the Update-Tool is not working in Vista and I had no time right now to do in DOS-Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 9, 2007 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 9, 2007 It is NOT recommend to mix and match any modules together on this platform as it can cause many problems. My suggestion would be to remove the 512s. Sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
