(I tell you, mad...)
As you add more sticks of RAM, the CPU BUS slows every so slightly and you may get failures. You also will draw more power so any power issues may show up.
To get such to work I usually... first have the latest BIOS since some BIOS updates address memory timing. Next I try the BIOS defaults, then I may slow down the memory timings.
If you feel this isn't right, you can always call the board/system supplier and demand they make it work or refund your money...
Best of luck,

PS. XP rarely pays off above 512M except for Doom 3. And I've yet to see any payoff at 1.5G.
Hi, I got another 512 ram through today to add to my 1 gig of memory I already have. But when I install it, the computer just holds on the motherboard Splash page.
I am running:
winxp sp2
2x Samsung 512 memory (new is Crucial 512 memory)
p4p800s-e deluxe motherboard
I know all the slots and memory sticks work as I have juggled them around to test them all, its just the motherboard doesn?t like having more than 2 sticks in at a time. And I am sure the motherboard will take up to 3 GIG of ram.
I can?t think what it can be at the moment, so any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
