If you have a 32 bit version of Windows dont put in 4 gigs. The Motherboard may support it but a 32 Bit version of Windows will only support a total of 4 gigs of ram including the video memory, cache, and pci. If its a 32 bit I normally recommend no more than 3.5 gigs of ram memory. Normally its safer to run 3 gigs. Windows may not run well if you go past that 4 gig point. As far as the appliances problem your refering to I didnt understand what you were asking for.

Hope this helps keep you from having a ram issue.

If you need help with the other question please be more specific. Thanks...

    The version of WIndows is what makes the difference. If you have XP Home then you have a 32 bit for sure. If you have Vista:


        Click Start

        right click computer

        click properties

    Look under the amount of ram and it will tell you what bit version of Windows your running. The only way to make your system a 64 bit if it is not already is to install a 64 bit version of Windows.

    As far as all the specs for your board goes. I dont know where to find this infromation. Many system board manufacturers dont put that kind of information in their specs for the board. Thats why most people stop at 3 gigs for a 32 bit. If your video card is a 256 meg then you might be able to go to 3.5 gigs on the mainboard. Im not saying that if you put 4 gigs in your system it wont work but you may run into problems and it probably wont recognize all of it.

I have a asus AV7 with a amd 64 bit processor 2 gigs of ram windows Xp Pro 7 dvd burners NEC 16x and 2 120 gig 133HZ.sata drives and 4 133 ATA hard drives 133 maxtor 120 gig configured in a raid stripped 0...

There is a glitch on those AV7 boards ata controler I think. Check the website for the new drivers supposedly they help, but all they did was crash my raid after I installed them. I ended up cloning the whole raid over to a single large sata drive and put in an ide to sata card (non raid unfortunately) and the problem went away. I only had the problem under very heavy disk loading. It seemed to not be quite so bad when I added some additional cooling aimed at the motherboard. As to if it will help your software problem I am unsure. However the only time mine did the mini dump was when I was doing heavy video editing work and after nixing the raid it fixed it, But then again a bad drive in a raid can cause that also.

Win98 hds in win xp dont show other program says not formatted

you will need to revert back to the master/slave setting.  As slave/slave neither disk will be the main controller. Try reverse the master disk to the slave, and the slave to master, as it may be that the controller has a fault which is why you were having the original win98 problem.  Let me know how you get on

ASUS P5LD2 Raid 5 locks windows at MUP.SYS

A stab in the dark. Sound like the MB BIOS expects and is written to have the OS on the  IDE  slot. After that I would add one SATA drive at a time to see if it matters and to see if one of the drives are causing the problem.

Install hard-drive

Sata drives don't have an option to be master/slave like IDE drives, b/c the Sata cable is per device. If the computer's not pulling up the sata drive, open device manager (right click  my computer, properties, hardware tab, device manager) and look for a yellow question mark. You'll have to install drivers for it more than likely.
