Adding more DDR Ram
I have 512M DDR 2700 installed ,when I tried to add another stick, it complaint about different RAM for dual channel during boot up. The warning went away when I put the new RAM in a different slot. I am not trying to setup dual channel, I thought with 4 memory slots, I can use 4 different RAM in the slots. Am I reading the motherboard spec wrong?
Motherboard : Intel D865PERL RAM : 2 512M Kingston value RAM 2700 |

Is the second stick of RAM also a 512MB DDR2700? If so then it should have worked.

Probably it was telling you that to enable dual channel, you have to have the ram in certain slots. If not in those slots, you will not have dual channel working. You probably added the new stick of ram to slot 2 and got the caution message. Your system will run fine either way. On my Asus board, I have to use slots 1&3 (blue) or 2&4 (black) in order to enable dual channel. Suspect yours is the same. Dual channel is a faster method of using DDR ram, so enabling it is a good idea.
