After switching the configuration of the the sticks around a few times im sure that both sticks are working as they should be but i still cant figure out why they both wont run in a dual configuration. Help would be appreciated.

Re: 2nd Memory Stick not being read

Maybe these two RAMs are not similar enough, dual channel configurations are sensitive to every aspect of the RAM you are using, so you may consider get both sticks replaced with a dual channel kit.

Re: 2nd Memory Stick not being read

Ok, i adjusted the voltage in BIOS and still no luck. Could it have anything to do with the fact that i have yet to update my vista 64bit with any of the service packs? Possibly compatibility issues?
