first here's what I currently have
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
768MB RAM (3x DIMMs of DDR 333mhz(2.5) 256*8) - thats what the sticks say
nVidia nForce2 chipset (from what I am being told)
I am looking to upgrade to 2GB RAM
A friend of mine said that all I would need are 2 1GB 333mhz PC2700 DDR sticks. so that is what I got.
The sticks read: 1GB PC-2700 DDR (8) 128X4 16C 022607
Now I put them in my machine and boot up, and it just beeps at me. I tried one of my old 256 chips and one of the new ones and only the 256 chip is recognized.
Did I get dead sticks? Or was I just misinformed on what to get? If I was, what SHOULD I be putting in my machine??
