Is the RAM one of the brands and part numbers shown as supported in the motherboard documentation?
A-ha-ha.. I threw out the motherboard documentation years ago :/
Why on earth wouldn't all motherboards be compatible with all RAM that fits in the socket? Or is this just another wonderful case of "standards are wonderful. There are so many of them to choose from"? Mind you, ark.intel.com tells me that the ICH8 chipsets in my laptops can take a maximum of 4GB of ram, but they both have 6GB in them according to /usr/bin/free. Magic, I guess. -- Tim Connors
