Finding the right RAM

[Griselda]

Hey,

My memory sticks arrived today, I took my single 256mb stick out and replaced it with two 512 sticks. When I connected it all back up the computer lit up but there was no input to the moniter :(. I replaced them with the original stick until I can find out what the problem is. On the current stick it says "CCC" on the memory, one the new ones is says ECC, are these not compatible?!

You could try adding one of the 512 sticks to the open slot along with the 256 mb stick, and then see how much memory your computer says it has with those in.

Edit- Oh, and don't do what I did and put the memory in backwards. I shorted out my entire motherboard doing that.
