If you have a 500mb and 2/256mb sticks, the 500 goes into slot one.

It's not the RAM that's holding you back...it's the CPU voltage (vcore). Try it at 1.75v

Oooops....I think I spoke too soon. If that board is based on the VIA KT400 chipset, you're probably not gonna get it to run at 200MHz (400FSB)

Oooops again, the above answer was meant for someone else with a different board.

Try a vcore increase like I suggested

Your question was:

"I'd like to know if the arrangement of memorysticks can help me solve my problem?"

My answer to you was:

"If you have a 500mb and 2/256mb sticks, the 500 goes into slot one."

Just setting the record straight bunco. lol!

Hi YOYO,

I know this question is about RAM arrangement, but the real question he's asking is how to run his 2400+ CPU at 200MHz (400FSB). He suspects that the RAM is the problem, but since he has PC3200, I kinda doubt it. If you checked his other post, he states that he has an unlocked multi, so my suggestion is to try the CPU at 10 x 200MHz @ 1.75v & see if it'll bootup
