Just a quick one to see if anyone can help,

i have bought 2, 2Gb 667 sticks, my motherboard in the manual states it will accept 4gb 2 in each slot, i can only get 3gb to work,

i am running 1 x 2gb stick and 1 x 1gb stick. computer works perfectly fine this way but bought the stick so want to use it,

could the problem bee the BIOS ins't set up to accept 4 gb and the power..

if so could someone please help me with the appropriate settings

thank you in advance..

regards

I suppose you're using windows XP or Vista 32bit.
