Dimmukane:
Alright, does anyone know what BIOS setting I would have to change to get the full 4 gigs?  Windows and the BIOS are detecting it, but claiming only 2 gigs are usable.  I have 2 1 gig sticks and 1 2 gig stick...if for some reason that configuration is the reason my shit's broke I'm gonna be pissed.  



Edit: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Turns out this is the case.  I can only use two (of 4) slots per CPU, and since I only have one CPU (and they are no longer manufactured), I have to go out another 2 gig stick. 

Cire27:
If they are DDR they have to match anyways, right?

bicostp:
In order to run dual-channel, yes.

If you've got a grab bag of RAM in, all of it will run at the slowest stick's speed.

Dimmukane:
They're all the same speed...which just made me realize I can just swap out one of the 1 gig sticks and have 3 gigs.  Temporary fix, but whatevs.

Edit: haha oh man this whole memory issue has been fun

Nodaisho:
So I just got the 4 gig patriot kit I linked earlier, and it works fine except that when I try to load L4D2, it crashes while loading the main menu. I haven't reinstalled the old ram to make sure it is the new ram, but since it worked yesterday and didn't work today, odds are good that is the cause. Anyone know what the problem could be?

edit: I deleted the common file and the client for l4d2 and it works now, hopefully it keeps working.
