I have a Cognac Trigem mobo in an older HP with Celeron 800. Original came with 128 mb ram (1 stick) at pc100.
I bought a 128 SDRAM pc133 16x64 years ago that has always worked.
Just bought this from newegg http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-141-205&depa=1 and it won't work.
Am I doomed to no more than 128's?
I put the 256 in slot 2 and it passed the bios screen recognizing the new amount of ram. Then when windows finished loading, it restarted...and continued this cycle. Booting, then restarting, etc. I put the 256 in slot 1 then and got nothing. It wouldn't even get past the ram count.
Here's a link to an Old thread about my board: http://www.e4allinc.info/dir1/motherboards/socket370/cognac_end_users.htm
They talk about the RAM needing to be double-sided. I didn't realize this would make a difference...would it?
sorry for the ignorance. thanks for any info you have.
