Well it gave me a few problems when coupled with my 128 meg one. All games etc. played normally, but when I started up MPlayer Classic the system rebooted, and then went on and on. Then I thought there was some problem with the XP install, or a virus perhaps, so I reinstalled XP. But then there were problems during the install too, when it said "corrupted file" each time for a different file. Only after I took out the older RAM stick that things came back to normal.
But I don't understand how a single app could "trigger" a system into pre-boot unstability. Weird. If the sticks were "out of sync", it should have shown up b4 right? Or does it need system-level instructions to bring out the monster? But then what would a media-app have to do with system-level instructions? And then again, why not b4?
I don't understand any of it. Somebody pls explain. Also is there a solution? Or should I get more data, i.e, test it with other s/w, more games. Check the freqs. I really don't want to put that stick back in just now, just in case, if I had to re-install everything. (I know it shouldn't/wouldn't be necessary, but the human mind is a strange place.
)
Oh FYI, it's an 810E board with PIII 866MHz. Thanks.
