I'm interested, why didn't you trust it in the first place? What made you pull the stick out and double check? Just curious...
Anyway, if the properties tab reported 512MB, then it must be there somewhere... Either the stick you looked at had 256MB on each side (equalling 512MB), or there's another 256MB stick in there as well. Anyway, it's easy to tell - put everything in together again and start your computer. Navigate to the Crucial website and click on the "Scan My System" button, and it will give you a report about how much RAM is in your system and how it is installed (i.e. it will tell you if you have 2x256MB sticks or 1x512MB stick, or whatever you have).
Let us know the report results.

Thanks! I pulled the stick out because i wanted to upgrade in the first place. which i already did. you were right, for some reason i can only pull out 1 out of the 2 sticks on my laptop. why is that and why is the other one hidden? i want to pull both out so i can sell them. thanks for your help!

It's probably "hidden" unintentionally, just so the laptop manufacturer can fit everything in (laptops are jammed together to fit in such a small place). Can you provide the make/model of your laptop? If you can find it, a link to the manufacturer's support webpage might be handy also.
sure. it is a Compaq Presario X1010US Notebook PC.

I upgraded yesterday to a 1GB RAM memory. I want to upgrade my video memory next but i'm not sure where it's located to install one. I have 32MB DDR SDRAM. Do you think it's necessary? Thanks for the help!
