umm...do you have your fsb set to 1:1? and what are your ram timings?
also, what sizes are each of the modules? they should be identical as much as possible just to let ya know |

I had an ECS mobo not long back and it was very picky about RAM.
Occasionally I would have to boot the machine up with one piece in, boot it down and then add the other piece. So watch out for the mobo tripping you up. matched pairs and speeds are better for dual channel operation, you would be better off buying a pair imo from my experience with my ECS mobo.

even when you decide to
 and get yourself nice and square with dual-channel you will find that the highest you'll be able to run is PC2100 @ 1:1 (133fsb) cause RAM will only run at the slowest chips speed. Hopefully they will work together nice nice since they are from 2 different manufacturers...download Memtest86 and let it run at least 3-4 times to make sure everything is peachy. if they are happy in dual-channel you could probably get a few more clocks out of the chips with a bit more vDIMM. let us know how it goes...remember dual channel only works when you pair the memory in slots 1&3 and 2&4 respectively
