Danielle,
Different motherboards allow ram to be used in different amounts from one
slot to another. Without checking your motherboard manual you won't know
what the maximum value of ram you can install in each slot is. This value
can differ from slot to slot as I found a couple of years ago. I put in a
512 and the slot was not capable of taking more than 256 so it reported the
module was only 256 meg. By moving it to another slot it worked fine. If
you still have the 256 you can try putting it back into the origional slot
and checking how much the machine will then see. It should work fine and it
is extremely unlikely you have done any damage to it.
regards, Mark

Subject: [access-uk] ram installation
Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help. I got a stick of five twelve ram today and
decided that I would give my brother my two five six stick because I plan to
get another stick of five twelve when I have the money.
However, something strange happened apon trying to install it.
I took my two five six stick out and replaced it with the five twelve one.
The computer wouldn't boot, it just kept making beep noises at me. I checked
to make sure that all the clips were done up securely and everything was
fine but the computer would still not boot. After moving the ram to my
second slot which I have never used before, the computer is now working
fine.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be? Does this mean there is
something wrong with my motherboard? Will I be able to use this slot again?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Danielle
