I wonder if everyone else with a Radeon 64 DDR cannot run over 512MEG RAM without getting ATI driver errors when booting ? I thought it was a Windows ME memory mangement prob but XP get's the BSOD unless i go 512MEG of ram also.

ATI Radeon 64MEG DDR ViVo
MSI 6330 TURBO Raid ( Raid 0 )
Windows XP ( But this also Happened with Windows ME )
SB Live! Value
3Com NIC

All of the latest and greatest driver's/Bio's Upgrades/ and Via 4in1's.... Just for kick's I bought and returned a G3 TI200 for a couple of day's and it had no problem with 768 MEG of RAM.

Does ATI drivers just suck Donkey Ballz?
Anyone know a workaround?

Thanks!
 
Cuban, I think rbV5 has a VIA board. Try reinstalling the operating system. Usually that'll solve the problem.
 
Unfortnately I just did a reformat and fresh install two day's ago when I installed XP. Oh well i'll just keep 512MEG till I can get a Geforce 3 variant cheap.

BTW. XP crashes on the Display Driver atidisp.dll on bootup ( something like that ) like clockwork if I install that extra stick of memory. Window's ME just would not load the driver and go to VGA 16 color mode until I removed the extra memory.

Well this is interesting I just installed my old Geforce2MX and crashed on nv4.dll with over 512MEG when booting. Wonder why the Geforce 3 Ti200 had no problems over 512MEG? Maybe something with they way AGP is being implemented between the cards....

Thanks for the help though 🙂
 
Yea, my FIC uses the VIA chipset,

Actually, from what you describe, I would suspect one of your ram chips, try mixing the slots perhaps. Maybe when you installed/uninstalled your GF3 Ti 200, you nudged the Dimm or something, and made better contact, who knows.
