Hi all
I am after a bit of advice.
I have ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo (AMD Barton 3200+) and have recently purchased 2 sticks of Kingston value 512 - 3200 memory.
The chap I bought it off assured me it would be fine with this board. However it seems that there are issues with this memory as when I change the bus speed to 400 my comp crashes regulary and generally runs v slow. When I knock this down to 333 it is fine.
Bascically he wont take it back as he says it is a compatibilty issue and is therefore not his fault and there nothing wrong with it (needless to say I won't be visiting his shop again!!!).
Anyways, I have read previous posts which seem to indicate that the best thing to do is bin this memory and buys some new "approved" memory as suggested by the ASUS website.
I was wondering whether if anyone knew if there are any solutions for this problem or whehter I should indeed stick it on ebay and buy some more?!?!?!?
If anyone has this board and has memory running at 400fsb please please let me know what brand etc etc.
And replies would be greatly appreiciated.
Thanks
