I have installed 1gb or 2 sticks of 512meg ram. In sytem
properties and boot up it shows only 256meg ram. How do I
fix this?
 
Does your mobo and BIOS support that amount of RAM?

Is it the proper type?

Is it properly seated?

Greetings --

It's absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.
