You need to check your mobo specs as to the size/type of ram supported in
what *combinations*

I am trying to upgrade the RAM on my PC from 512MB to 1GB.
I have 3 slots on my motherboard and after doing Crucial's memory
scan and looking at their recommendations I decided to add one 512MB
RAM module to my two existing 256MB modules. I first put it into the
third and only empty slot and turned the computer on. It booted up fine
but reported that there was still only 512MB. I moved the new 512MB to
the first slot and one of the 256MB to the third slot. This time it
reported that there was 768MB or RAM.
At least I know that the new RAM works. I am wondering if there is a
problem with the third slot. Is there anyway of finding out about this?
One thing I did notice was the inside of the computer was extremely
dusty. Is there a safe way of cleaning it? Could it be that some dust
is blocking one of the connections in the third slot? (It has been open
the whole time I have had the computer)
Thanks for any help
David
