512 DDR2 with A8V-MX

Look for a AGP x8 graphics card with 512mb memory. Or more.

I found this manual for the motherboard. It may help. If you have two memory chips in the slots, you can only use either DDR or DDR2, but not both. That may be the trouble. If so, remove the 512 and leave the 1GB, you will get the correct reading.
Hope this helps. Get the manual also, it is a wealth of information.

According to the manufacturer's web-site:

http://usa.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=0pKBwEIE8tqMT4j7


this motherboard has 4 x DIMM sockets,
supporting a maximum of 4 GB
of DDR2 800/667/533/ Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory

and supports Dual Channel memory architecture.

So, add one 512MB DDR2 533 Mhz RAM into one of the slots,
being sure to leave *ONE* *EMPTY* slot between the two sticks,
in order to enable the high-performance "dual-channel" option.

Try your computer -- it should feel faster.

If you still think that need more RAM, buy two 512MB (or two 1024MB) DDR2 533 Mhz RAM, putting the 2 sticks into the two empty slots.

with rams, if the memory it has is higher than that of your cpu, the pc will not boot up or if it is too low compared to your cpu again.

thus, you say it has got two slots right, remove both of the 512's and insert the 1gig only, run your computer, i am sure it will boot up nicely. switch it off. put one 512, if it does not boot then you should know that your ram has an excess of memory that your cpu could not apprehend to.

post a coment if this does not work.

thanks,

Here's are the tips to replace you memory from 512 to 4GIG.

• Configured with 512MB DDR2 SDRAM (both Memory slots may be occupied)
• 256MB(min)4096MB(max), 2 memory slots using 256MB, 512MB, 1024BM or 2048MB PC4200 533Mhz or PC5300 667Mhz DDR2 SDRAM, dual-channel support requires two memory modules of same capacity and clockspeed.
  

Hope this might help you.

Good luck!

This motherboard supports AMD 939 pin Athlon 64 FX/ Athlon 64 processors with 1MB, 512 KB L2 cache which is based on 64 bit architecture. It features 1600 MT/s HyperTransport Bus, dual-channel unbuffered DDR400 memory support and AMD cooling Technology. So you should be able to use the RAM as long as it falls into the above specs. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

Pwede yan...

Happy Fixya...

This Motherboard has onboard VGA, but if you want to upgrade the expansion slot is a AGP. so you will have to purchase a AGP VGA card. ATi or Nvidia would be good enough.

What happened with you tried to install the software?

no, everything should work fine.
