I have AsRock 845 MotherBoard and it supports 2 GB RAM. I had 512 RAM and recently i put one more 512 RAM of same frequency. Both are PC3200. But it doesnt work. It says Try upgrading bios or something, BUT will it really work ? I visited the upgraded section of the asrock site but couldnt find it. Can you give me the link for this bios upgrade ?

Plugging in another 512 shouldn't be a problem. I have a 256 mixed with a 512 that I installed myself and it worked fine (plus my computer is like 5 years old). BIOS, of any date, should automatically find the RAM and utilize it. Make sure the stick is properly seated on the motherboard, make sure the stick is good by trying it on another computer, and if it still doesn't work, then the RAM slot you plugged the 512 in is bad.

your motherboard may support 2 but your cpu may not be able to handle 2 seperately.. try using just 1 gig instead of 2 512's

BIOS update is not needed until you change some factory settings like fsb by overclocking .
