Noah, I've long wondered. I install additional, ram, but on boot
even the bios doesn't see it. Made sure it was seated properly, the
clips snapped into position the first time. Still no go. Take it
out an redo the whole deal .... presto, added ram on boot. Blame
it on gremlins ;)
Either that or motherboards, try changin the order or the ram
sticks around in the slots. Usually what works best is to put the
best ram in slot1, then slot2, an so on. I had a board some time
ago that didn't like this arrangment tho. Slot1 empty, slot2, then
slot 3, slot4 worked fine tho.
That said, FedEx has another 256MB Corsair stick on it's way to
me, so I hope I remember this advice ;)
