This in continuation of an earlier post(160979). Nevertheless i am posting a new thread because: 1. The topic is essentially different 2. I bungled the last post in the earlier thread. the matter is, I removed a 64 MB SD RAM strip from one of my two DIMM sockets and replaced it with one 256 MB strip. the other socket has 128 MB. The system was definitely faster.. but i get a message at bootup time that says
"ECC DIMM timings not supported by GMCH" can you tell me what that means? do i ignore it or can i tweak up a bit? Thanks
I made a wise decision, got a bargain deal, and the next day found out that my model was outdated.

take the 128 out, see if that message still comes up. it may be that old motherboard can't handle more than 256 meg

It sounds like the new RAM is Error Correction memory, which your MBoard may not support. At any rate you shouldn't mix error correction RAM and non error correction RAM.

why isn't this in the hardware forum?
Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.

Ooops!Didn't think of that.(This had actually started as an os/hardware issue). Thanks. Can I move it there? Or has the Mod got to do it? Or do i start a new thread there?

Dear Moderator/Webmaster,
Could you kindly move this thread to the hardware forum? Is there any other way that such forum-related requests could be communicated to the moderator?
