I recently installed one stick of Ultra 1GB 400MHz 3200 Memory onto my MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Mobo, alongside two sticks of Corsair XMS . It didn't start up at all.

So I took out the Corsair memory sticks, and installed the Ultra by itself, and after resetting CMOS, it worked.

I then tried reinstalling the Corsair memory sticks, and it didn't work.

So essentially, combinations with the Corsair and Ultra don't seem to work.

After going through that, I looked at the recommended memory combination list, and I realized that none have a mix of single side and double sided combinations. Is this the reason why it won't work? I know that the Ultra is double-sided memory but I can't seem to find definitive answer on my Corsair XMS memory sticks.

Are there perhaps any other options I could take?
