If the PC maker states that only 1gb is supported then by running 1gb+ you
risk unintended consequences. eg data corruption
There is no win setting available to overide the bios, or mobo capabilities
Also Tsk Mngr is not recording the correct amount of physical memory anyway.

Last year I purchased an Alienware notebook computer. Pentium M 730 1.6hz
2mb
533fsb processor. It came with two 512 sticks of sodimm memory. Running
Windows xp media edition. I wanted to upgrade so I purchased 2 2gig
sticks
of sodimm memory. My problem is, if I put both sticks in the computer will
not boot up. I tried putting in one stick, and one of the 512 sticks and
it
works, and says on the task manager, under performance that I have 2096496
of
total physical memory. I contacted alienware and they said my notebook
only
supports 1 gig( but it is running a little over 2 now) and working fine. I
was just wondering if there is a setting or something I can change to
allow
it to use the 4 gigs that windows xp supports? If not, is it safe for me
to
run the way I am with one 2 gig and one 512mb stick? Thanks for any help.
