Ok I bought a 1 gig chip of what was supposed to be pc 2100.. but it wouldn't come up in the system as 1024 megs just 512 megs. I peeled a sticker off it and it says under it that it is a pc 2700 1 gig chip. Now I dont know everything about computer but even if it is supposed to run at 333mhz instead of 266mhz would it still show up as 1 gig but run at the 266mhz speed? The chip was in a 333mhz system and it would run at 1 gig but only ran at 266mhz instead of the 333 mhz... It just took the cpu from a athlon 2500 down to a athlon 1900.

Could be a couple of reasons.

Read your motherboard manual and see what kind of RAM it can handle.

Hmm.. Sounds like it should work.

What's the max RAM your motherboard can handle?

DDR333/266/DDR200 unbuffered ECC/none-ECC DDR SDRAM up to 3GB

Seems like you've got the wrong type of RAM in your computer. What did you have in there before?

I did have pc2100 256 meg ddr. The chip I just bought was supposed to be a 1 gig pc 2100 ddr chip. But under the pc 2100 sticker it says its a pc 2700 chip. I can run the 256 chip and 1 gig chip together but it shows up as 768 megs. The 1 gig chip alone shows up as 512 megs. The ram is compatible with my computer... I tried it in a computer with a athlon 2500 cpu that runs at 333 mhz fsb but that computer would only run at the speed of a 1900 xp instead of the 2500 xp.



Edit: Could this be a reverse roll taking affect? Instead of changeing my cpu speed to be higher its just changeing the ram to be lower...?

There's a couple of reasons. Your motherboard says it should be unbuffereed, and you might have a bufferend stick. If it's used, it might be 512, even though you got it and thought it was 1 gig. Also, it could have a damaged memory bank, so it's not getting the total memory.

I know its a 1 gig chip becuase it registered fine in a customers computer with a slightly upgraded motherboard.. only difference between mine and his is that his has 8x agp and mines only 4x. There's a slight chance that the chip could of became damaged in the 4 hours it sat in the car... but it was as night so it was not too hot nor cold and it was in the anti static bag which was in a bubble wrapped mailing envelope. There was no static disscharge when I removed it from the other computer or anything like that either. I dont think its buffered...

Hmm.. Then I don't know what to tell you. Like I said, it might be buffered, and it might have a bad memory bank

Yeah, that might work. Let me know if it works, when you get it all upgraded.
