Need A8N-SLI Memory help with 1x512 and 2x256 sticks all together.

[davidos]

I have the single 512 stick in the B1 slot and I can't seem to put the other 2x256mb sticks in any slot without getting a memory squelch from the bios speaker...

Has anyone mixed memory sticks? Is it possible to run dual channel with 2x256mb sticks and 1x512mb stick? My memory is pc3200 Corsair XMS for the 1x512mb and Twinmos w/winbond for the 2x256mb.... I think all of them use BH-5 memory...

HELP!

For Dual Channel, use the two 256mb sticks in A1 & B1 dimm slots. Also for dual channel, you shouldn't mix memory modules.

so put the 2x256 sticks in A1 and B1... where do I put the 1x512 stick? Are you saying don't use it?

Wouldn't use it. If you are only going to use the one stick, in single channel, then put the stick in B1.
