I think the problem lies in: two diffrent types of ram and the diffrence in speed for both. I tried to get them both to run at 333 mhz in bios (i recon those 'Jedec #3' will be the same then) but i just cannot find it...

Does anyone know where in bios the menu is to get them all 4 running at 333 or 400mhz?

Or should i stop messing about and buy me two more sticks of 1gb 400mhz?

I am running xp 32bit so i shouldnt have this much Ram anyway but the diffrence i have when running 2gb or 4gb is great in performance. No idea why tho.

Thx in advance for your help.

Should be under FSB or DRAM Ratio, speed doesn't matter though, just set them to be 1:1 with the CPU.
