Hi there!;):

Ive just brought corsair cm2x1024-6400c4 g matched pairs. 4-4-4-12 800mhz xms2-6400 v2.1 ddr2 mem. Also asus m2n sli deluxe am2 socket mobo. And an athlon 64 x2 5000+ am2 cpu. Both my 1gb memory sticks r working no probs. But i cant get them both working together as dual channel or non dual. And had to install vista ultimate with only one 1gb stick in. i get some werd errors come up when both plugged in. And then it wont boot into windows. Can you please help as i want both running dual channel. Not just runing the one stick as i am for now. Im so gutted spending all this money to find these probs. It may be some settings as these type of mobos r new to me. dunno if its timmings or what:evil::[pouts: i would appreciate it much if you could help me to get my pc running sweet..:biggrin: :laughing:thx silva.

With 4 modules on that MB you would need to run the memory at DDR667 and I would set the memory Voltage to 2.1 Volts and set the NB/MCH Voltage to +.05 Volts and make sure the command Rate is set to 2t and the TRC if its listed is set to 24 then test the system with http://www.memtest.org to make sure its stable.

 

Also You'll need to install MS patch 929777 from Microsoft for more than 3 GIG in Win Vista. you can search for it at http://www.microsoft.com. Just make sure you get the right patch for the specific version you have.

hi again ppl!

right ive try a few ways now with no joy. there is no setting for nb/mch voltage on the mobo. so i cant change that. i keep getting this error when both 1gb sticks r in together. as 2gb!

file\windows\system 32\winload.exe

status: oxc0000221

info. the file is possibly corrupt. its header checksum does not match the corrupted checksum. :[pouts:

 

but 1x 1gb mem stick pulled out. it boots fine to vista 32bit ultimate. and ive tryed with both so they r working fine. still cant find how 2 get both working together:confused:..
