Installing a shuttle with dual channel ram

[5cupa]

just built a new shuttle but would only install windowsXP with 1 of a dual pair of ram. seems to work fine after install with both sticks in.

is this normal?

As long as it works in dual ram mode post install i wouldn't worry. Which shuttle is it?

I too am buying a new shuttle a SN95G5 and I wondered which ram you used mate as I need some new stuff too.

it was Geil® Value 512Mb PC3200 Dual Chan DDR Kit (2x256MB) (5ns Cas 2.5 8-4-4 ) Aluminium heat spreader £58

and a Shuttle SN41G2 V2

SN41's have been fussy beasts since day one man, wouldn;t worry about it tbh, never had that problem myself but im not suprised at all, as mine once rejected the graphics card when i was trying to install windows and then it installed fine afterwards once xp was loaded
