With pc 3200 memory,or any memory on newer boards,you should have
both memory sticks the same size,if diffrent sizes-mb are used then configure
two in slot 1 and 3,and other in 2 and 4,if diffrent are to be used.Some
boards
wont even run if the 2 are diffrent.However,to test memory,test it in
DOS,if it
works as the test results display,quit worrying about it.To test download
