    Ok so these are my computer specs:

    Operating System
    MS Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
    CPU
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.53GH
    Wolfdale 45nm Technology
    RAM
    2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 332MHz (5-5-5-15) Corsair PC2-6400
    Motherboard
    4Core1333-GLAN. (CPUSocket)
    Graphics
    Philips 220E @ 1920x1080
    512MB GeForce 8600 GT (nVidia)
    Hard Drives
    488GB Western Digital WDC WD5000AAKS-00YGA0 ATA Device (SATA) 41 °C
    Optical Drives
    DVDRW PATA 20X20X12X ATA Device
    WRYXC UNWLMFCX SCSI CdRom Device

    I got another 2 sticks of ram (Apacer 1GB PC2 - 6400 CL5) that I tried to install and for some reason my pc was freezing on startup, i removed the new pair of ram and it was working perfectly. I then removed the old pair (Corsair PC2-6400) and replaced it with the new pair (Apacer 1GB PC2 - 6400 CL5) and it was working flawlessly. Why don't they work together?

    It it just me or the wine but I am not getting it. You are basically saying that the new pair of RAM is working and also not working right.

    The old and the new do not work when paired? I think I heard this somewhere before that it has something to do with the mobo. Maybe they aren't 100 % the same at all.
