Upgrading to 3GB of memory

Does anyone know how to get the Intel D845WN to recognize 3GB of memory? Although the documentation states that it is possible, each time I try to go beyond 2GB my machine doesn't get past the Intel splash screen at startup. If I hit F2, it indicates that that "setup is now starting" but just stays there until I turn it off. Thanx

    Thanks for the input r_generato!
    I have an ATI Radeon 9800 video card, Forgive my ignorance but I was under the impression that the memory capability of the mobo was independent of the video memory. Please clarify what you mean by "maybe the video share by my mobo is almost 1gig." - and how do I check and/or change this? Also, I've seen references to how the BIOS affects how the memory is recognized. I do have the latest BIOS update from Intel (P15).

What do you mean? You want to see if your memo reach 3Gigs because you put 3gigs on it? If thats the case, maybe the video share by your motherboard is almost 1gig? [do you have an outboard video card?] if none, thats what Im talking about[maybe the video share by your motherboard is almost 1gig]

Want to add ddr3 memory to my p5qc board

Hello
The motherboard supports DDR3 1333/1066/800 MHz or DDR2 memory 1066/800/667 MHz to meet the higher bandwidth requirements of the latest operation system, 3D graphics, multimedia, and Internet applications. The dual-channel DDR3/DDR2 architecture doubles the bandwidth of your system memory to boost system performance, eliminating bottlenecks with peak bandwidths of up to 19.2 GB/s.
DDR2 1066MHz DIMMs work only on the black slots for one DIMM per channel
2 x DIMM, Max. 8 GB, DDR3 1333/1066/800 Non-ECC,Un-buffered Memory 4 x DIMM, max. 16GB, DDR2 1066 / 800 / 667 MHz, Non-ECC, Un-buffered memory Dual channel memory architecture When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended DDR2 1066MHz DIMMs work only on the black slots for one DIMM per channel. Ensure to install the DDR2 1066MHz DIMMs ONLY on the BLACK slots! Refer to www.asus.com or this user manual for the Memory QVL(Qualified Vendors Lists). When installing total memory of 4GB capacity or more, Windows® 32-bit operation system may only recognize less than 3GB. Hence, a total installed memory of less than 3GB is recommended.
Hope this helps

Problem with upgrading my acer extensa 5620z memory to 4GB

Hi there.
I recommend you get another stick of SODIMM to replace what seems to be the faulty stick.
If you are using XP or Vista X86 (32bit) then the system will only recognize 2.8 - 3GB of memory, only 64bit operating systems recognize the full 4GB.


Good luck ad thanks for using FixYa!!

133hz sdram problem

Please check this Intel link that shows specifications for memory that can be used in the Intel D845WN motherboard.
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d845wn/sb/cs-008941.htm#1

When upgrading or increasing memory. The DIMM's should be the same. The Intel D845WN board requires the memory to run at 3.3volt. If the memory you are adding is within the Intel spec's, than switch the two Dimm's. Insert only the new DIMM & check if the system hangs. If it does than it is possible the new memory it either not compatable or is defective. For more information about the D845WN board download the manual for you're Intel board. http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/d845wn/sb/cs-008937.htm

Luck!

No screen display at all and no short beep for post-intel D845WN board

Try the old memory back in and see if you get the bios screen showing up, if not find the clear cmos jumper either marked JBat 1, clrclk, clrcmos or similar and try again. If neither your old memory or new no longer allows the pc to boot, i would say that the motherboard has been stressed when you have fitted the memory by forcing a flexing in the board and damaging the cmos chip, only replacing the board can resolve the issue if that is the case
