Hi guy's thanks for all the replys since i was last on. From various opinions i have had they agree with Dalo, voltages have to be changed! I was hoping it was just plug and play. since i'm a complete novice i think i may leave it and sell the ram. Would the voltages still need changed if i were to get 2x2gig sticks of ram?

Again thanks for the replys and your time!!!!

Most likely yes - changes the voltage is easy in the BIOS - there is an option called VRAM and you just up that - thats it

As with all memory they all have 2 things that they need -
Timings (speed it runs)
Voltage (power supplied)

Motherboards will set it's own of the 2 above so that it runs, but the manufacturers specs are very different and even more so with 2x2GB sticks -
to get the MAX performance out of the memory you NEED to set to what they recommend on their website.
