Solve : memory upgrade issue?

Answer»

I have an ABIT VT6X4 motherboard and currently have 192 MB of RAM with 1 slot open. I went out and bought a Kingston PC133 256Mb memory stick at Best Buy. Supposedly my computer can handle up to 1.5GB of storage. So there should be no problem, right? When I insert the card, the computer just beeps continously and has to be unplugged in order to turn it off. No matter what slot it is in, it will do this. My CPU says it is running at 2 volts but it says 3.3 volts on the memory stick. Does that matter?

Thank YouI suggest you visit http://www.kingston.com/ and see whether you can find your motherboad in their Memory Search feature. Sounds like you don't have the right memory for your computer.All RAM is not the same, nor is it compatible. There is more to it that PC133. Newer RAM (HIGH DENSITY) FREQUENTLY does not work in OLDER machines. It all depends on the motherboard. yeah, I think I figured out that my motherboard is just a piece of junk. I'm going to just buy a new computer! Well, it's not your motherboard's fault that you got the wrong RAM!

Good luck on your purchase.
