Who told you that registered ram will work in that pc .....

It looks like you should be using .... Pc 100 sd ram .....
max memory 2  x 256 .......    unbuffered and unregistered ........

Have you confirmed that registered ram will be supported from your manual ?

Please let us know .

yes i checked the hp site and says it will work but not with the ecc opin ill add link   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=bph07169&lc=en#N104B3 if im reading wrong let me know alls i wanted to do make comp faster  and the beeps are long about 5-6 of them and nothing happens please let me know thanksblue_caddy...........

About system memory
The motherboard has two dual in-line memory module (DIMM) sockets. Minimum memory size is 16 MB; maximum memory size is 512 MB. The BIOS automatically detects memory type, size, and speed.

The motherboard supports the following memory features:


168-pin DIMMs with gold-plated contacts

66 MHz SDRAM or 100 MHz SDRAM depending on system

Non-ECC (64-bit) and ECC (72-bit) memory

3 V memory only

Single- or double-sided DIMMs



SDRAM


Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM) improves memory performance through memory access that is synchronous with the memory clock. This simplifies the timing design and increases memory speed because all timing is dependent on the number of memory clock cycles.



NOTE: To function properly, SDRAM DIMMs must meet the Intel 4-clock, 66 MHz, unbuffered SDRAM specification for either 64-bit or 72-bit SDRAM.


System memory (DIMM)


This motherboard uses only DIMMs. Sockets are available for 3.3 Volt (power level) unbuffered Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM) of 16, 32, 64, 128 MB, or 256 MB.


This chipset does not support ECC. However, ECC memory modules may still be used, but the ECC function will not be available.


The DIMMs must be 3.3V unbuffered for this motherboard. To determine the DIMM type, CHECK the notches on the DIMMs.



NOTE: No hardware or BIOS setup is required after adding or removing memory


you are describing beeps which reflect using the improper type of Ram ......... I ask again exactly what kind of Ram are you trying to install.  The full specification is necessary .

Let us know ,

dl65  thIBM 13M32734BCD-360Y Double-sided 256mb, 100MHz PC100 Registered ECC, 72 bit is is what im trying to make work should work yes no ?I doubt you will see ECC on any mainboard for normal desktop PCs.

It is used in servers. Obtain the mainboard manual. It will tell you all you need to know.

ECC is 169 pins, normal 168.

thats what i thought now i got a learning lesson but the person was nice to refund the money thanks Quote

Use a program such as Everest Home Edition to identify the type of hardware you have in the future.
