32 megs whipes out all memory???

i just bought two 16meg peices for my 2000 and when i put both of them in the slots it says i have no memory at all.... when i only put one in it reads it <--- i switched the cards in each slot to make sure theyr not messed up.... they both work... just not together.... could one of my memory slots be messed up? i bought it used.... if anyone could help me out i would appreciate it... thanks in advance

When I maxed mines out, the slots show one empty, one with a 32meg chip. Maybe you can;t use both with 16 chips. Just guessing dog.

Anyone?

YES!! i have the same problem check my post .. we have the same exact problem i think

sorry to say yes lol.. but at least u hgave me 1 solution and that is to only use 16

Incompatible memory. Seen it several times before.

Yea a few people on the boards has this problem before... Might be the memory sticks...

You said they are two 16's correct... The memory slots can't handle anything, but 16's...

"The memory slots can't handle anything, but 16's.."

Not correct. The 2000 uses 4, 8 or 16 meg sticks. The XL can use 16 or 32 meg sticks.

I've used 1x32 stick and at different times 2x16 sticks and lesser MB sticks and have not had any problems in my 2kxl. Like 3k said, incompatible sticks most likely (dirty sticks)..
