Memory problem

Hi all,

I have an MS-6195 slot A board. It has 3 dimm sockets. At present I have
two 128MB sticks in place. If I try to put in another stick, it doesn't
recognize anything above 256MB. It makes no difference which sockets I use.
Iam trying to increase the memory to the max of 768MB. I have tried a 512MB
stick by itself with no luck. I don't have any manuels for this board. Any
and all suggestions please. tia

Manual here:

  http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php
?UID=94&NAME=MS-6195

It won't support a single 512 stick. Max is 768MB which is 3 x 256MB
sdram.

From crucial.com memory selector:

"Important information about your computer
Your system only supports modules made with a specific type of chips.
While you might find what appears to be the exact same memory for a
lower price elsewhere, chances are good that the cheaper memory will
not work in your system. The Crucial Memory Selector only selects
memory that is 100% guaranteed compatible with your system or we'll
give you your money back!"

I suspect you are mixing high density memory with low density memory.
Probably won't work on that board.

Download the manual and see what memory your board needs or use the
memory selector at crucial to get an idea.
