hey guys
i have just bought 4gb of ddr pc3200 400mhz ram for my asus p4p800 deluxe motherboard the problem is that out of the 4gb i bought only 1 gb stick works when i put the others in the system just wont boot i have placed the all separatly one at a time but only one works.
what i am asking is 1 is it normal to get ram that doa and 2 am i doing it right im pretty sure that i am the mb manual says i can load up to 4gb of ddr pc3200 400mhz ram one of the chaps i bought the ram from asked me if i have a low or high density mb i dont know what that mean perhaps you could enlighten me.

I bought them on ebay but one of the chaps giving me a refund cant give me the money till tomorrow as he dosent get paid till then so hopefully it will go ok the other i cant get hold of so i may try it on my sisters comp if it works i will sell it on ebay.
It's really weird two of the sticks show up when i run the program cpuz but if i run say pc mark 05 it only see's the one 1gb stick and not the other two very weird its as though the computer knows that they are there but just cant use them.
