my mobo has 4 memory slots (dimm A1 A2, dimm B1 B2)i bought a matched pair of corsair memory and stuck them into slots A2 and B2 machine works ok.after reading the mobo book it says for dual configuration the total size of memory module installed per channel must be the same for better performance (DIMM-A1+DIMM-A2 =DIMM-B1+DIMM-B2)does this mean to run dual channel config i should have them in dimm A1 + dimm A2..i have tried putting them in these slots but the machine just beeps at me and will not boot.the memory was bought to run in dual channel config.any help would be great.iam away to read the book like i should have done in the first place...cheers ASUS A8N SLI DELUXE SKT 939 ATHLON 64 3800+ VENICE 250gb MAXTOR DIAMONDMAX 10 SATA 16mb 1 GB CORSAIR TWIN MATCHED MEMORY 2X WINFAST 6600GT SLI GRAPHICS NEC 3540A 16xDUAL LAYER DVD RW PHILLIPS 8421 DVD RW THERMALTAKE TWV 500W PURE POWER PSU MICROSOFT WIRELESS KEYBOARD & MOUSE WINDOWS XP PRO

thanks guys for your replies,,i installed the network version and everything seemed ok for a while untill the machine done the automatic updates and then it hung after reboot and will not restart,any ideas

the cd was made with the option you get to make one after you uppack and set up the machine for the first time,as for network sp2 i am not quite sure about this.i have a sp2 installation disc from microsoft but it does the same

The kids have a compaq pressario pc(amd 64 3200+)the hard drive gave up the ghost so i installed another and put in the recovery disc i made just after i bought it new.the prob is that the machine downloads and installs all the updates fine but when i try sp2 the machine freezes resulting in the recovery cd having to be reinstalled, any ideas folks Title Edited - Please follow new posting rules from now on. --Zxian

i am running 2 of these cards in sli mode,my prob is that when i play far cry the graphics dont seem to be that good,what i mean is the sand is as white as it gets the plants under the water are all blocks the game in its self stutters,just over all not as i expected..have you guys any clues as to what is up,have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no better.this is a custom built machine and i thought it would have run this game no probs at full spec...cheers..........ANDY ASUS A8N SLI DELUXE SKT 939 ATHLON 64 3800+ VENICE 250gb MAXTOR DIAMONDMAX 10 SATA 16mb 1 GB CORSAIR TWIN MATCHED MEMORY 2X WINFAST 6600GT SLI GRAPHICS NEC 3540A 16xDUAL LAYER DVD RW PHILLIPS 8421 DVD RW THERMALTAKE TWV 500W PURE POWER PSU MICROSOFT WIRELESS KEYBOARD & MOUSE WINDOWS XP PRO
