My system is slowing down when I add more RAM. I upped it to 4 GB and
everything slowed measurably. 

 

The system is:

 

Intel Core 2 6400 @ 2.13GHz

Intel DG965OT MB

2 GB DDR2-533 SDRAM (Hyundai)

NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT 512 MB

Vista Ultimate, SP1

 

At first I added 2 Kingston Value RAM DIMMs with the original Hyundai DIMMs,
then tried 4 KVR's to make sure it wasn't different manufacturers. I'm
beginning to wonder if there's not a problem with DIMM slots 2 & 4. As soon
as I returned to the original DIMMs, everything was fine. Am I missing a
BIOS setting? 

 

When I have a minute, I'll switch and just use slots 2 & 4 to see if that
replicates the problem.

 

Thanks for any advice you might have on this.
