Hi all, thanks for all the feedback.<br><br>I hoped to devote some time to this over the weekend but I didn't get<br>enough time to solve it. However, I did manage to pull some more<br>info.<br><br>These are the memory modules in question...<br>http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178164 (I<br>ordered two sets of two.)<br><br>Also I've attached a photograph of the memory config page in my BIOS.<br>If you take it off of "automatic" there are two manual options. One<br>of them just lets you make changes, while the other, called<br>"aggressive", assigns some values but lets you change them.<br><br>I couldn't find any settings for memory voltage, but is that implicit<br>in these settings?<br><br>I did toy around with changing some of the settings, mainly forcing it<br>to 667 MHz as that's what the memory is really supposed to be rated<br>for. For the others I tried a few changes but not much as I didn't<br>know
what was plausible. Nothing allowed all four sticks to work at<br>once.<br><br>If I'd had more time to spend, I'd have done better research on what<br>the settings mean, etc...sorry not to have done so yet.<br><br>Kendric Beachey<br><br><br><br>On Fri, Nov 18, 2011 at 4:58 PM, Kendric Beachey<br><<a ymailto="mailto:kendric.beachey@gmail.com" href="mailto:kendric.beachey@gmail.com">kendric.beachey@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>> I just got four 2GB memory modules for my computer (running on 1 GB<br>> was starting to try my patience).
