I am building my first system with new parts and repurposed parts. It will POST and allow me to enter the BIOS. I can also start loading the operating system. I have not yet loaded XP Home.
One of the initial screens tells me that memory is in "unganged mode" DOe4s that mean that my DDR2 memory sticks are not in the proper slots?
Also, it says my SATA drive is running in IDE mode, and asks if I want to switch to AHCI mode. Should I do that?
System
New:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H AMD785G Socket AM2+ MB
AMD Phenom II X2 550 3.1Ghz Black Edition AM3 CPU
OCZ Vista Performace Ed. 4096MB PC6400 DDR2 800MHz
Corsair CX400W 400W Power Supply
Repurposed:
320GB SATA HD Seagate
midtower ATX case
keyboard, mouse, monitor
Thanks for your help.
