at home i have an elite motherboard; P4M800PRO,
only half my memory is showing, i.e. only 1 slot is working.
is this a problem anyone else has encountered? if so where is the weak spot, how can i fix this?
i am handy with a soldering iron and too poor for a new motherboard.
much appreciated
geoff.

Most likely it's a bad plastic clip that holds the memory card in place. They can be hard to find and even harder to replace. It would require the connector to be replaced too, so the soldering iron would have to be low wattage, no more than 23 watts with a very fine tip. Don't hold it in place too long and beware of plate thru holes, they can render a MOBO useless.

in assuming that you have tried each RAM module seperately in slot 1 and verified that both are indeed good?

correct, I have tried both in slots and both are ok. I will hopefully have time to have a proper look at the weekend. Thanks.
