Default Windows Will not recognize new stick
Finally decided to up the specs in my old pc with the approach of Vista. 2 different sticks of RAM although I have 4 slots so I will soon have 2 of each. Anyways just bought some CORSAIR Valueselect 1GB stick and it is just sitting in the system doing nothing. Any help would be great.

Mind giving me some idea where in the BIOS is an option for that? And I will try another slot I guess.

well find the voltages for your ram there, and if it matches the specs of your ram it recognizes it. Im not totally sure where on your motherboard though.
