Compatibility: PQI PC3200 Turbo & DFI LP UT nF3 250Gb

[Windancer]

Search on PQI doesn't give many hits on this forum, so may not be popular brand. Memory below will not allow the socket 754 DFI LanParty board to boot at all...with either 1 or 2 sticks in any combination of DIMM slots, basic BIOS configurations....no tweaking. Board will boot and run fine with Kingstone PC2100 (all I have around). Any experience with this combination or advise?

thanks.

Might try cranking the memory voltage to 2.8, Save & Exit, let the mobo go all the way through the next POST, then turn it off and swap your fancy memory in there. If it runs, test it with Memtest86 overnight and see if it does ok, or if it has errors. If it has errors at default speed and 2.8 volts then you may want to RMA that memory.

Thanks for advise, but same results. Dumb question, but this is referred to as Dual Channel Pack....I thought a matched set. But is it compatable with Socket 754 boards? I am reading that only 939 are dual channel capable.
