NitroViper Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 Ive tried everything LanParty875B 2.8 P4 Prescott 2 sticks of PC3200 DDR400 i tried 1 stick in slot 1 and 1 in slot 3 2-4 2-3 3-4 all the combos I'm new to Intel Boards, been using AMD forever, figured i would give it a shot. i have used this ram in dual channel mode on my Asus A7N8X mobo. i flashed the bios to the latest version about 10 minutes ago, i cant find a solution, does anyone have any ideas? when i boot it says MEM FREQ 400mhz and says Single Channel Dynamic Mode & Performance Acceleration tech. enable i also reset the CMOS and set everything to default in the bios. any help would be great.

Angry_Games Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 see the RAM slots? your sticks go in same-colored slots to get Dual Channel. like a stick each in the orange slots, or a stick each in the yellow slots...dont mix colors lol. if you done this already and still no worky, take a look at my 875B bios screens: http://www.angrygames.com/LP875B_bios1.htm if still no success, let me know. would more than likely be a bad board (rare for the Intel boards, but not wholly uncommon in motherboards as a whole) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroViper Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 thx angry, i looked over your bios screen but mines basically the same as yours. i changed a few setting to try and get it to work in the Advanced Chipset Features. by SPD my clocks are 2.5 8 4 4 Ive also tried to put it on manual and set it the same as yours. i disabled the other options and renabled them tested many setting, i juts cant get it to go. yes i have been using the same color slots right now I'm using 2 orange slots slot 1 and slot 3 i still reads 1 gig of ram. could one of my sticks not be compatible with the mobo? 1 stick is infineon DDR-SDRAM PC3200 2 stick is Corsiar DDR-SDRAM PC3200 according to CPU-z thx for the help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted July 10, 2004 Posted July 10, 2004 i still reads 1 gig of ram. er...these are 512MB sticks or 1GB sticks? and its still not showing dual channel? Im not a fan of anything Infineon at all...but that shouldnt stop it from being Dual Channel if it is in the right slots =/ ps: check the size limits on your sig via the Rules in my sig. Dont mean to be a nazi about it but rules iz rules =/ anyway let me know whats up with the board, and if we have to we'll swap it out and see if that cures it. If you know someone that has a matched pair of DIMMs then try those also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroViper Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 they are 512 sticks, i also have a stick of XeroX DDR PC 3200 512mb it doesnt go to dual mode with that either. but they do go dual in my asus A7N8X. here are some cpu-z shots. with my Asus A7N8X-X and AMD 2700 i get a score of 4219 on 3dmark03 with the LanParty and P4 2.8 Prescott i get 3850, i thought i would have gone up, everything else in my pc is the same Geforce 5700 Ultra PNY 60 gig Seagate all i did was swap out the board and CPU and reformated.

Angry_Games Posted July 11, 2004 Posted July 11, 2004 nitro im at a loss as to what this could be. You got a couple of choices though... 1. you can hang on and let me ask TW if they have ever seen this before...they might or might not have... 2. immediately RMA the board back to your vendor and get a replacement as that will either vindicate or eliminate the board. if you go for #1, just pm or email me the exact system specs you have, especially important is the motherboard revision and bios verions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
