Hi everybody  
Could you please tell me if KVR400X64C25/512 Kingston ram are ok for a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R mainboard?
And if I bought 2x512 modules there would be problems?
Thank you very much in advance

One stick in slot 1 seems to work but using both sticks in 1 & 3 or 2 & 4 just results in a hang with dleds indicating 'early chipset initialization'.
Can I ask what slots you're running and did you have to fiddle with timings, volts etc to achieve DDR400?
According to the Manual(Chapter 2 - Page 8) for DDR400 You would want to try Slots 1 & 3 for this ram, If It's Double Sided, If It's Single Sided ram then slots 2 & 4 should get You DDR400. But since You've tried that, Then You have double sided dimms and need some single sided ram dimms, As according to the manual there is no way to run 2 double sided sticks at DDR400 in those slots, Since You would need 2 Single Sided or 1 Double Sided Dimm to run at DDR400 in either Slot 1 and/or Slot 2.

  • Please help with 4 sticks of Kingston RAM

    Hello. I bought the 875P-LSR Neo board and have been having nothing but troubles with it. Maybe someone here can give me some help. I have a P4 3.2 GHZ CPU (NOT the extreme one), an ATI 9800XT video card. I bought 4 512MB sticks of  Kingston KVR400X64C25/512 which is on their approved memory list. I cannot get this board to work with 4 sticks of RAM, even when I set it to BIOS defaults. I have updated to BIOS 1.9, or whatever the lastest is. It just posts, loads XP then reboots. I don't want to overclock or anything, I just want to run at 3.2 GHZ with 2 GB of RAM. If I run two sticks in slots 1 and 3 it runs ok, but I get ALOT of program crashed in XP. I'm sure it has something to do with memory speeds or voltages, I am just letting the board config the memory, I think it is using 2.5,4,4,8 and 2.6 V. Anyone out there have any suggestions for getting this memory to work. In reading the boards I saw that this board has problems with 4 memory sticks. They shouldn't be advertising this board can handle 4 GB of RAM if that is the case. Any advice is greatly appreciated

    It seems to run fine with just 2 modules, but I bought 4 for a reason!
    I am now contemplating a new MOBO.  Any suggestions?
    I have read so many posts on kingston memory not working or reading wrong spd's my advice would be get some OCZ . Just my 2 penny's worth

  • Does anyone have kingston Ram

    Curious I am haveing audio issues and if you look a few posts down there is my post, if someone could have a look at that thatd be great. Now since audio sync is my problem, I've read RAM may be it. But I really don't feel like take my RAM out. My pb came with 512, I upgraded and bought a 1GB stick of Kinston. Now does anyone else here have a Kingston stick in theres and have success with audio sync. I really wish I could fix this issue, its just driving me nuts.

    Geez Nathan, it's not a big deal to remove that Kingston RAM and try again...
    Kingston has been problematic.

  • Kingston RAM OK rather than Apple approved?

    I'm in Ottawa and I've been quoted by a shop that claims to be an Apple reseller who supplies Kingston RAM cheaper than the authorised Apple reseller. The price difference is significant.
    I would be happier using the Apple authorised but am tempted by the Kingston product.
    What does anyone think about inserting the Kingston RAM.
    I have an ibook 933MHZ and want an extra 512 MB
    Thank you all

    I have 1GB of Kingston RAM in my iBook. As long as they'll guarantee compatibility buy it.

  • Purchased Mac Book Pro 2.7 GHz, 16GB RAM (upgrade), 512 FLASH (upgrade) 14 days ago - but new MAC Book Pro announce today (10/22). Did I Overpay? Any discounts or reimbursements for non-needed upgrades?

    I recently (14 days ago) purchased a Mac Book Pro 15.4 and increased the processor to 2.7 Quad Core Intel Core i7, increased memeoty to 16 GB 1600MHz DDR3l SDRAM, increased the storage to 512 Flash Storage. Today (10/22) an New Mac Book Pro was announce and release for purchase. This new laptop has 16 GB RAM and 512 Storage as defualt options without having to pay a premium.
    After contacting the customer service I was presented with two options - since the customer service representatives/ supervisors/ leads could not locate the price differences they could not tell me how much the credit should actually have been.
    1. Return the computer, have the monies returned to me and repurchase a laptop with the new standars (aproxx 2 -3 week process).
    2. Take a $150.00 credit
    I can say that the memory was probably $200.00 and the storage was probably $300.00.
    Is there a way to get the full refund for hardware configurations that are now default?
    If I had waited another 2 weeks I could have save some money and get a better video card and processor. The release of the New Mac Book Pro was not a known/ planned event.
    Can you help Apple?
    Thank you!

    You have also posted in the Mac Pro forum and not the MacBook forum. You may find many other similar experiences there. For future reference it's worth noting forthcoming upcoming Apple events and checking out some of the Apple related websites. You will then be able to make an educated guess re what is about to be updated and what is likely to remain the same. It's now a good time to buy an iPhone and all those recently updated MacBook Pro and iPad models. Less good time to buy iMacs.More detailed info here.

  • Kingston double sided 512 pc2100

    Causes really wierd video problems, and eventual crash in XP
    In 2k it works untill you try to install the video card, then when you restard, the screen freezes.
    Crucial single sided 128MB works perfect.

    tkloppel,
    Send the Kingston RAM back. Their RAM is hit or miss on nForce and in your cas eit is defiately a miss!
    Sorry,
    Richard

  • Kingston RAM

    I'm planning to buy a RAM upgrade for my late 2011 MacBook Pro.
    Is Kingston RAM a good choice or should i rather buy from Crucial?

    go by warranty (which ever has the better warranty), rather than brand.  That is what is most important.  They are both well known name brands.

  • Kingston RAM and MacBook / MacBook Pro?

    Hello,
    I am finally going to be buying my MacBook Pro C2D in the next couple of days and have a question on Kingston RAM.
    I am interested in the 2.16 model and loading it up with 2GB of RAM. When I went to the Apple boutique here in Canada, I was told that if I order my computer from the Apple site with Apple RAM it will take 1 month to receive!!!! Is this true? They told me they could get the model as advertised on the site (2.16 Ghz, 1 GB RAM and 120 hard disk) and put in Kingston RAM instead.
    They said that Kingston RAM is supported by Apple and will greatly cut down the wait time and I will end up having my computer in a couple of days instead of a month. Is this a sales pitch they are pulling on me? Does it really take a month for a C2D with 2 GB of RAM (in the base model)? If I use any other kind of RAM am I voiding my warranty? The price they are quoting me is not really that much cheaper than Apple's so I don't know what the big deal is unless there is something I am missing here.
    I am opting to get the lower model with more RAM instead of the 2.33 model with 2 GB since I don't think I will be using the 256 video card and I can save 400$ in the process. I love the 15" screen which is my main issue for wanting a MB Pro over the MB. I know the MB would be fine for me, but not the 13" screen. I plan on keeping my system for a good 4-5 years and I think the 13" screen will not meet my needs.
    Any help you could give would be MOST helpful as I need to be purchasing my MB Pro by the end of the week. I will be starting teacher's college very shortly and need to get my system as quickly as possible.
    As usual these forums are a GREAT resource! Thanks much for any help you could pass on!
    Cheers,
    Mark

    It will not take any longer to get if you order it from Apple. It won't void your warranty installing RAM yourself either. I ordered my MBP from Apple, got it in about a week and installed an extra 1G of Apple-certified RAM from here. It's been working fantastic.

  • Kingston ram mem solved in 3 k7n2 mobo

    I already solve problems with kingston ram mem in 3 pcs, mine and 2 from friends . It seems this is for real, kingston ram mem when working on 400mhz dual have a lot of  :angryfire:overheat problems on msi k7n2 mobos, and the pchealth and other software won't tell u because it just shows the main proces and mobo/chassis temperature .
    All I and this 2 friends have to do is to buy a new pc case with side cooling (direct on the ram mem) and one more back exaust fan.
    We bought this pc case:
     http://www.casemall.com.br/gabinetes/imt4000.htm
    Site language it is in portuquese.
    But any one with a side cooler slot (just one on the left) plus a back exaust slot will do the work  
    Ps.: this slots r all the same and the coolers/exaust fan too, all u need to do is change the face that u connect on the case.

    YOU CAN TRY TO SET YOURCLOCK/RATIO TO 5:6  3-3-6/8 SO THAT THE CPU/ MEMORY CAN WORK BETTER TOGETHER, I DON,T THINK MAKING YOUR RAM FASTER IS GOING TO GIVE YOU BETTER PERFORMANCE BECAUSE SIMPLE IT,S NOT MENT FOR THAT SPEED, HOPE THAT HELPS GIVE TI A SHOT

  • 4GB Kingston RAM Upgrade New MB???

    I have a brand spanking new Macbook purchased directly from the Apple store, which came with 2 GB RAM, 160 SATA HD, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 processor. The user manual and apple's website says I can upgrade to 4GB of RAM (2x 2GB modules). So I order 2 - 2GB Ram chip of Kingston brand from NewEgg, for $65. Got them today, popped out the factory installed Ram Chips and seated in the new ones. Power up the macbook and I get the chime and the apple logo with the little spinning wheel, but then the screen display a black translucent box tell me that I must restart. So OK, I restart thinking that it need to update its bios with the new memory amount... on restart same thing...
    So I reseated the ram at 5 times and 5 reboots and still the same problem. Put old ram back and it booted up just find and display a warning about not being able start previously, so I viewed the log and the memory dump states something about RAM Panic ????
    The Kingston ram I bought is 2 modules of 2GB DDR2 PC2 5300 (667 MHz), which exactly what I was suppose to buy.
    Now reading through these forums it looks like a mixed bag of user getting 3rd party ram to work or not work.
    Any ideas... or could I just have bad memory.

    Googood.... Thanks for your idea! One of the new chips worked with one of the old chips and one new one did not work... so it's going back for replacement.
    Thanks a bunch.

  • Will Kingston RAM kvr1333d3n9/4g work on my MBP15 early 2011?

    I'm looking foward adding some extra RAM to boost my Macbook Pro 15 early 2011.
    I wonder if this kingston model (kvr1333d3n9/4g) will get the job done.
    If so, I'll get 2 dimms to take it to 8GB.

    I would choose something from Apple or Crutial, I am not personally experienxed with Kingston, but I'm sure someone else will jump in on this and further this disscussion.
    Hope thsi helps,
    Best

  • Kingston RAM, Help?

    Hi!
    I recently bought another PC3200 Kingston KVR400/512R Value RAM to go alone with the other, making 1Gig of RAM. The first RAM I used by itself for about a week in DIMM1 before adding this one.  After adding this one in DIMM2, my system would boot up and would hold at the windows screen.  I went into the bios and changed both to 200Mhz, and now it works. I even tried 266Mhz but that doesn't work either.  Can't I at least go up to 333Mhz on each? I do not know much about what to set frequency at and what not...

    Check this thread RAM not running at full speed? it's just a few lines down from your original. Looks like they had a simalar problem and got it sorted.

  • MBR CoreDuo 2 and kingston ram

    Hi there!
    I guess thit topic has been discussed but still I'd be very grateful for any oppinions.
    I have 1Gb (from the beggining) of ram in my MBP.
    I want to buy 1Gb more. I've decided to go for Kingston because one from apple is to expensive and I know kingston producec good memory. But kingston has a lot of 1Gb modules, could anyone please tell me which model to buy? (KTA...???).
    They differ in price within different modules.
    I want it to work with my original 1GB, please let me know of your experiences.
    Thanks a lot
    Adam Mscisz

    You should ONLY buy RAM which have a model number prefixed by KTA-MB667 excepting KTA-MB667K2 models (these are in kits of 2 SODIMMs and are typically aimed at Mac mini and MacBook owners who want to match SODIMMs). These models have been tested and are rated for use in a MacBook Pro.
    The 1GB part number you want to buy is KTA-MB667/1G.
