I got some new ram today 2x1gb before i had 2x512 well i put the 2 gbs in and all i get is a long beep over an over i have it in right,,, i dont think the ram has a name so probly my fault for buying cheap ram... and i put them in the first 2 slots is when i get the beeps and if i put one in slot 1 and one in slot 3 works but no i dual channel and acts funky..??? think i should send it back for better ram? p.s sorry for my writeing skillz:cool:
 
Besides simply buying a cheap unknown brand of memory your board may not run 1gb size dimms or you simply bought the wrong type? If your board runs single sided memory(row of ICs on one side only) and you installed dual sided(ICs seen on both sides of dimm) oops! beeep beeep beeeeep beeeeeeep is the thing to expect. What make and model board are you running? The specifications will usually show the type and amount of memory supported.
 
That board supposedly will run four 1gb dimms. One thought owuld be the timings since prebuilt systems usually allow only value ram. Before ordering you should have matched what they usually list for 1gb memory to what you would find at the bendor you order from. Often returning used components like memory or a cpu doesn't go well but you can try.
