RE: Craplins Book PC help required

Surely it would require single sided over double sided dimms.
If the memory was double sided and the board can only "see" half
of it
(one side) that's where the problem lies, I have an abit motherboard
that also seems to not like double sided dimms, that one had me racking
my brain for ages

Calum since tells me that it's likely the PC is expecting double sided
DIMMs - guess what I have.... :(
