I have an A7V with one each 256mb and 128mb SDRAM cards. They were purchased at different times from different vendors but both use the same NEC components. Anyway, my system runs OK and crashes on rare occasions (almost allways precipited by something I do when moving between applications). I play Falcon 4.0 in campaign mode, which is extremely demanding on the system, without crashing. Also, I do not overclock.
Anyway, I just upgraded my old Norton Systemworks 2.0 to the latest version and ran the memory hardware tests. With both cards in, the test fails on the first pass, allways at the same spot. What is unusual is that both cards will pass all tests when installed individually. I also mentioned in another post that I experienced an unusual CPU tempature increase about the same time I added the RAM.
I suppose adding RAM puts more electrons into motion, but would my temps go up 4-5 deg C?
Is it bad to have two different sized cards in my system? I plan to build an economy system for my kids with a Duron, using the 128mb card out of my system, so it won't kill me to take it out. Should I take it out?
