I now see the problem..as you stated.. Am I up the creek?

What I did was remove both memory chips and installed them wrong, not paying attention to the groove in the chipset. When I did that is when it went from wicked fast to wicked nothing. I seen there was a lot of dust and crap in there and wanted to blow it out with some compressed air. well, I screwed that up...like the processor and everything else. maybe I should stick to washing the cars.
