Chaintech 150 Memory Problems - Anyone else having them?

[BenRankin]

Got a Chaintech ZNF3-150 and 2 sticks of OCZ 512MB PC3200 Platinum Edition memory. The mb will only boot with one stick. I've tried both independently and they both work. I've tried every configuration of DIMM slots. I updated the BIOS so that I could manipulate the memory timings, but regardless of what I choose I see the default settings during boot up (which is only visible if I have one stick of memory in). I tried some other unknown PC3200 512MB memory sticks that are working in another computer and the situation is the same. I sent an email to Chaintech Tech Support and here was the response:

"As with this motherboard, there were a few issues with this no matter what memory or bios is being used the board will not read 2 memory simultaneously. It is recommended to have this board returned and be upgraded to the ZNF3-250 or have the board exchanged back to your retailer and we can keep a close eye on this issue.

Chaintech Support"

That doesn't response doesn't inspire me. Is anyone else having either good or bad luck with the Chaintech 150 and 2 sticks of memory?

If the board allows bumping the memory voltage, try setting it to 2.7 volts. Oh, and two other things:

1) Welcome to the Forums

2) Give Chaintech credit for answering your email, at least... if that were Asus, odds are that you'd never hear a thing from them
