[Raiad Anwaar]

i have intel dp45sg mb
and q6600 @2.4 (ofc no OC)
i had 2x2gb old ram running at 1066 mhz with timing 7-7-7-20
so i bought corsair vengeance 1x4gb 1600mhz
when i install it mobo beeps 3 times and no display nothing !
i think that its not downclocking the ram to 1333 or 1066!
HELP !
Thanks !

Even if it was, the timings probably don't match. It still won't work.

Replace the 2 x 2gb kit with a 2 x 4gb kit to guarantee that it'll work.

so you're saying that the money i spent was just flushed!

Unless you can return them and use them as downpayment on a 2 x 4gb kit

Might double check but don't believe that 775 mobo even supports 4 GB sticks, believe max of 8GB in a 4x2GB config

Looks like 2gb/dimm is the max - http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dp45sg/sb/CS-029151.htm
