Well, I buyed 3 X 512 MB of SDRAM for upgrading my motherboard,
i putted in and, guess what, my pc won't start up so i did every combinations that exist for putting the RAM inside,
I have a P4B266 motherboard and the ram is :
Detailed: 512MB 266MHz DDR PC2100 ECC DIMM CL2.5
Specifications: Standard 64M X 72 ECC 266MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.5V, CL2.5, Gold)
The RAM is defenitly good for the motherboard becuase, Kingston said so.

I read in my guide that if it are double-sided DIMM's you can't use the 3th socket

. I also read that you can't remove the first RAM that was putted in there when it started up.
===> But the very odd thing was that your first included RAM is always in the first socket ;) but with my it was in the second socket

So that could maybe the problem.
Does anybody nows how the hell you get that working with the SDRAM inside :thumbup:

My pc:

Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz
Asus P4B266 motherboard with 256 MB SD-RAM
Intel 845D chipset
And other stuff...

Or should i just buy a new pc ?
