Ill try to be a simple as i can.
I have two computers. This computer, (PC1) has 1GB (2x512mb) Geil Value Dual channel DDR1 RAM and PC2 has some Corsair 2GB (2x1GB) DDR1 memory. I cant remember the model.
FEAR was being very laggy with a lot of HDD light flashing on PC1. So i swapped the RAM. This made all the difference to the performance and would like to keep the switch a permanent arrangement.
However when I put the 1GB from PC1 into PC2 it will not boot. Both computers have the same motherboard and i can't seem to get my head around the problem. I have tried every combination in respects to the amount of ram and which slots they are in with no luck.
All i can think of is that i updated the BIOS in PC2 so it would work with the Opteron. Not sure if this would make a difference or not??
Spec of PC1 is below.
Spec of PC2 is:
Seasonic S12 600W
AMD Opteron UP 144 San Diego 1.8GHz 1MB Cache
XFX 7800GT Extreme
Asus A8N SLI Premium
Any help would be appreciated.
