Hello all, I am back again.
I recently bought another stick of 512 MB of RAM (PC2700, to be replaced with 2700). Plugged it in slot 1 in my motherboard, put my other 256 (PC2700) in slot 2. Turned the computer on, and the motherboard does not use my 256 stick. During the POST it only does a memory check of 524...... K of memory. Windows does not recongnize it either.

I know the RAM is in the slot correctly, as CPU-Z detects it. This is the RAM i was just using before. I've downclocked, I've clocked back up to regular speed, but nothing works. The motherboard will not read it. I have updated my motherboard to the latest BIOS and everything.

My motherboard is an ECS Elitegroup 741GX-M, socket 462, supporting 266/333 memory modules. What can I do to get this motherboard to detect memory in slot 2?
 
Have you tried swapping the sicks, putting the 256 in slot one, and the 512 in slot two?

You RAM slot may be bad.
