Long story short i have an Amptron P4-920LSD motherboard. I need 1 gig RAM to install server 2008 on it. I DO NOT want to purchase expensive RAM (yes 20 dollars is expensive for this machine that is worth its weight in dirty). I've found a used 1 gig stick of DDR1 for 16 bucks. This will work great as all other places I can purchase 512 SDRAM for like 40 bucks, but i'd have to purchase two sticks as i only have a 128 and 256 stick of SDRAM.
So I can purchase 512 new of DDR1 RAM for like 50 bucks or just get a used 1 gig stick for 16 bucks. Okay now that you know a little bit of the background...
I cannot find how to get this MB to recognize DDR ram. It was a motherboard that was build during the transition from SDRAM to DDR so it has two slots for SD and two for DDR. You can only use one type at a time and it by default only recognizes the SDRAM slots. I can't find my manual (built this for my parents in 2001) and need to know what jumpers to set for this POS to recognize DDR...
Please help me, i seriously am going crazy over this thing. Needed a hard drive, then a dvd drive, now realized i need more ram for the install, but now i can't get the thing to recognize the ddr stick (my 512 one i have, haven't purchased the used one yet, and yes it works b/c i'm using it right now on my other desktop).
