Adding RAM
Monday, September 15, 2003 by SLOWTYPER | Discussion: Stardock Software
I have 3 slots for a total of 738 Megs of Ram. Had 32 Meg in slot 3 and changed to 256. For some reason this caused a problem with my sound blaster which I have been able to correct. Does anyone know? Is it best to have the Ram installed with largest capability in slot one and decending in size? My present= slot one, 128 meg, slot 2, 32 meg and 256 in slot 3. Thanks for any input.

You may need to dump the 32....could be a compatability issue....not all ram is equal, as it were....

Yes. Some motherboards strictly require it. Try the 256 in slot 1, 128 in slot 2, and 32 in slot 3.
