Why is nothing ever simple eh??
I wanted to upgrade my RAM, but I was unsure what to get.
Under the recommendation of someone at TSG (wasper) http://forums.techguy.org/hardware/587848-would-work-ram-upgrade.html I purchased a single stick of PC3200 512MB.
I bought the RAM from eBay, brand new from someone with 100% positibe feedback
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWN:IT&viewitem=&item=180135342608&rd=1&rd=1
But it's not working
It is simply not recognised, I first placed into slots 2 and 3 and it just found the usual 512MB of RAM. I then took my original RAM out and placed the new memory into SLOT 1 and the system did not post. I'm sure I have installed it correctly - the label is facing the left, towards the processor and heat sink and the connection is secure. I swapped the memory back and it worked fine - so my technique of installing RAM is fine.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot!

PS. My other stick is 512MBPC3200 so they are the same...so there should be no compatability issues...:-/
