I've been running a 2400 XP (TB rev B) with a nf7-s 2.0 at 2.2 GHZ (11x200) for a while. The ram was on stick of 512 MB corsair 3200 xms. I recently bought a second stick of corsair 3200 XMS. The ram are as close I could get to being identicle, but the newer stuff says 1.2 and the older stuff is 1.1. Basically the newer stuff just has better timings.
Anyway I have them in both slot 1 and 3 and my system won't post at all at 200 FPB. It will post at 166, but crash in Windows. It runs stable at 133 with both sticks. The old stick obviously works fine. When I tried the new stick by itself, it only was stable up to about 190 mhz which is not its rated speed obviously.
I have tried these using various BIOS setting including voltage for everything and CPU interface.
When the system does not post it will give me a series of LONG beeps. I have to restart 3 or 4 times for the BIOS to go to default settings.
Any suggestions?
