View Single Post - Why is this Asus motherboard rejecting RAM?

For that board I would stay with the Mushkin so you would see it backclock to the 266mhz max the board supports. On the old Asus A7N8X Deluxe the matched pair of Corsiar xms series DDR400 PC3200 dimms would backclock to 266 when the fsb was lowered down from 200 ro 133 in the bios.

The other memory here is lower quality and not worth the hassle. First take a look at the 256mb Mushkin to see if that is a single or dual sided dimm. Some older boards simply won't run a dual sided dimm. That's a dimm seeing a row of ic chips on both sides of the dimm itself.
