new RAM, audio skipping

[mj.daly]

Hi,

I just added 2*512 sticks of ram in my motherboard, now the audio gets stuck and repeats itself for a second when playing MP3s or watching videos. Any ideas why this may be happening? I have included some info from SiSoftware Sandra:

FYI, I increased the voltage and I now have no problems.
