Does that mean I have a compatibility issue going on? or what? are they the same size and are they the same speed? What does your motherboard support as for placement of memory? 8 slots.. but do they have to be a certain size and can all slots be filled? What type of motherboard do you have? make and model...

Let's hope it not the same trouble as the link Google posted, that would suck.

Two cross and two kingston then try it. If it fails.. memory compatibility problem. if it works then Mobo issue most likely. BigPapaDean 1

Windows 32bit will only accept up to 4 gigs of ram and the 64 bit will accept as much as the motherboard will hold. The type of Ram will not matter, but the same type is preferred as with the same ram it will run just a tad but faster, the ram will only run as fast as the slowest piece of ram.
