I came across 3 sticks of 512MB of memory and installed it into my PC. Well since doing that I can't get the PC boot into Windows XP when I have all three sticks in the slots. Seems to work fine with 2 though. The memory I'm using is Micron 512MB PC2100U memory sticks. I'm not over clocking my CPU either.Is there an issue with the 3rd slot on the 745? I thought I saw something a year or two ago about that when you over clocked that you couldnt use the 3rd slot.

Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them? -
You can't use three slots when you're running at PC2700 speeds (i.e. 166/333MHz). Check your FSB and memory clocks.
Otherwise, beats me. Which BIOS have you got?Blah blah blah nick blah blah confusion, blah blah blah blah frog. -
I had trouble running 2 sticks at 166MHz.
My Samsung runs fine all the time at 166MHz, CAS2.5. I put a stick of Crucial PC3200 in there with it, and the machine was quite unstable. They'd work together fine at 100MHz CAS2, but who wants that?
I took the Crucial back, and swapped it for another stick, but haven't had a chance to test it yet.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

Ditto on the Samsung "True PC2700 DDR" memory, works a peach
