Hello,
I kept getting these errors in Windows xp, rebooting and blue screen etc.
I found out my 512k memory card was bad, so i was only left with the 256
k
card.
so i bought 2 kingston pc2700 ddr333 (crucial.com says this is the size
that
will work), but actually received 2 pc2100 ddr266 (kingston.com says this
is
the size that will work)
whatver the case may e they should both work. Windows says I am running 1
gig like normal, but the speed doesnt seem faster than the 768 i was
running
before.
ANyway, the memory tests i run online ALL say I have 512k, and only 1 slot

Is one of the online test at crucial.com?

is being used.
I tried both cards, in both slots, and each card alone, and each card with
my 256, and every time, it staes only one slot is filled and 512k.

Why did you keep the 256K module?
Why is it in there?

Is this a windows error the scan is picking up.
Is there something in windows that will show me the ACTUAL ram i have and
ACTUAL htat is being used.
I may have 1 gig like windows says, but is it possible only 512 is being
used ?

Pull the 256K module, and try again. Check "bank" allotments for each RAM
slot as appropriate to your motherboard.

go here in the U.S., or someplace else for sale?
