memory problems

Been thier done that all work fine in another motherboard in this baord for
some reason the 2 2700's and the 1 3200 work fine but 2 3200's wont work at
all and I've tried about 4 diffrnt brands: Munchin crucial corsair and a
generic and all the memory runs fine in my older xp nforce 2 motherboard.
Heck I can build a fort with DDR 3200 512mb chips right now lol. I guess I
should just go buy 1 gig of DDR 3200. but I will just wait now gonna get my
nforce 4 board in a couple of months but just makes me mad. It used to work
fine with 2 sticks of crucial DDR 3200 then it stopped for some reason. I
thoguht it was bad memory but indivually in the motherboard they work fine.
Together any DDR 3200 512mb together dont work at all anymore I tired
clearing the CMOS I tired everything ugggg

Mate I have the exact same problem ... has been working fine for 2
months ... just spent the weekend Reformatting ... and would always
crash random ... with 2 sticks of PC3200 Kingmax 512mb ... found when
I remove 1 stick works flawlessly put both sticks in CRASH !!! have
tested both sticks and both are perfect ... and tried all 3 different
slots ... but no no avail

George MacD has warned of this problem since *forever*. Likely, your
DIMMs are dual-rank, so your putting four ranks on the bus. Not good.

Hmm, "all 3 different slots" would indicate s754(?) and I believe 4 ranks
should be OK there (slots 1&2 only) without dropping to 333MHz though it's
obviously pushing the limit so memory quality has to be impeccable . I've
found that the Kingmax DIMMs I've used won't run at 1T command rate though
- they passed memtest86+ for me at 1T but WinXP install was glitchy;
dropping to 2T let the install proceed and then when I tried at 1T again,
WinXP got started OK but Prime95 fell over in seconds. I tried slacking
off the timings to keep 1T but no go. The answer is err, Crucial:-) and
keep rank count down.

BTW did you get my response on your USB prob? I know you've not been able
to get in here too often the past week or so. Just interested to hear if
it helped.

Ok, yer the boss.

I read it, but haven't tried anything yet (we got back late Saturday night
and I've been road-killed - bug-eyed and the whole bit). It didn't seem
to be my problem though. I'll have to go back and re-read.
