2 GB Ram

[Joey2566]

Hey,

I've just brought a brand new Abit AB9 Pro (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard with GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400UDC).

When i came to install Windows, it would only work with 1gb in. If i put the 2 Ram cards in slot 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 (for dual channel) the computer wont even load windows in safe mode. If i put the cards in slot 1 & 2 then it will work, but i'm told this will only be in single channel. Either card works perfectly well in slot 1.

I want to get this to work in Dual channel mode, as this is what it was brought for. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Joe

Intels do not integrate a memory controller onto the CPU die. On an Intel rig the memory controller is in the chipset on the motherboard.

I've got a brand new Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB).

I brought the bundle off Overclockers.co.uk!!

Send it back and ask for a bundle of parts that work. The whole point of those bundles is that they definitely work together, so something is damaged somewhere.

Because it was bought as a 'lot' you will need to return it as a 'lot'. But I would definitely return it.
