Using M2N-E Asus mother board, installed 3GB ram but system only reflected as 1 GB. Any solution?

Yes, it will work just fine. Just make sure you uninstall the drivers of the embedded one before installing the new one and you disable it from the BIOS immediately after.

According to the manufacturer's web-site:

http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=0pKBwEIE8tqMT4j7


this motherboard has 4 x DIMM sockets,
supporting a maximum of 4 GB
of DDR2 800/667/533/ Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

and supports Dual Channel memory architecture.

So, add one 512MB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM into one of the slots,
being sure to leave *ONE* *EMPTY* slot between the two sticks,
in order to enable the high-performance "dual-channel" option.

Try your computer -- it should feel faster.

If you still think that need more RAM, buy two 512MB (or two 1024MB) DDR2 533 Mhz RAM, putting the 2 sticks into the two empty slots.

I don't think this is a BIOS problem. Sound more like you need to re-load windows and start from scratch. Make sure your USB is turned on in the BIOS.

change your ram's one of them is mismatched

change from where u have bought it....

it will work

helpful i'll always here.....

Try cleaning it edge connector with soft eraser both side and dont try to touch the pin. If it doesn't help you got a defective one.

all memory will operate at the slowest speed chip unfortunately. the only way to get the higher speed is to have all chips capeable of that particular speed.

USE DIFFERENT PORT FOR PROBLEM OCCURED HARD DRIVE AND CHECK SAME PROBLEM CONING TO THAT PORT ALSO .THEN THE PROBLEM IS WITH YOUR HARD DRIVE .REPLACE IT.

This motherboard supports RAM upto 8 GB but 32 bit Operatin system give support 4 GB. To know more about the mobo follow the link below

(1) Remove memory from mother board and start the system if you happen to listen long beep then RAM is not working properly.
(2) Clean RAM conducting area on mother board with clean cotton cloth, put one peice of RAM and test and check the othe peice also, if working you could any sign display . Before doing all these check mother board any LED is glowing if so your SMPS is working after you turn on UPS.

(3) Check for all proper connection for all cables. Have you connected video cable of monitor to mother board VGA (it will not work because it is disabled as soon as you installed XFX GeForce 8800 GT), your viedo output only will come through XFX GeForce 8800 GT VGA port.

(4) If propelm persits Deassmble complete the system and reassmble & do n't connect HDD, DVD, floppy. Cehck with bare mother baord, processor, RAM (put one picese at a time) by connecting viedo cable of monitor

I had the same problem and ASUS tech support was of no help. I did however find the culpret in the BIOS setup. Go to Advanced, Chipset, NorthBridge Chipset, and Memory Configuration. Set the Bank Interleaving to Disabled and save the settings. Check these settings also while you are there:
Channel Interleaving = Auto
Enable clock to all DIMMS = Disabled
Memory Tristate = Disabled
Memory Hole = Enabled
Unganged Mode = Enabled
Power Down Enable = Enabled
Power Down Mode = Channel
