Default Re: UPGRADE GA-P31-DS3L with INTEL Core 2 Quad Q9650

Hmm, well if you do not have any luck with 1 stick then there is likely some incompatibility issues I would imagine. It happens for sure so don't feel singled out, many boards and ram do not play well together so it just may be what is going on this time around.

Did you look at the QVL? It has a warning at the top. May not apply to your use of one stick, but it may when you try 2 or more because those are double sided correct?

This system requires single-sided/single-ranked memory modules when all four sockets are populated. 1GB double-sided(dual-ranked) memory modules may be installed one per channel. For Dual Channel mode, use single-sided modules only.

Those you you mentioned look to be single sided and I doubt Crucial would advise you incorrectly but you may want to call them and ask to be sure that they are single sided. Here is their number 1-800-336-8915, or you may chat with them right on that page.
