–With the two new 1gb sticks (actually 1024mb each, this is the limit of each slot according to the manual) in ‘properties’ from ‘My computer’ shows ‘2gb’ with the two ‘1gb sticks’ plus one stick of 512mb it shows 2.50gb as would be expected but when I add the second 512mb stick properties shows a total of 2.87gb ram. I seem to be missing some ram. Could anyone tell me what might be happening here? I have noticed the following in an MSI(mainboard manufacturer) info program –
Name : Physical Memory
Memory Capacity : 1024MB
Memory BankLabel : RAS 0 & 1
Memory DeviceLocator : DIMM1
Memory Type : 3DRAM
Name : Physical Memory
Memory Capacity : 512MB
Memory BankLabel : RAS 2 & 3
Memory DeviceLocator : DIMM2
Memory Type : 3DRAM
Name : Physical Memory
Memory Capacity : 1024MB
Memory BankLabel : RAS 4 & 5
Memory DeviceLocator : DIMM3
Memory Type : 3DRAM
Name : Physical Memory
Memory Capacity : 512MB
Memory BankLabel : RAS 6 & 7
Memory DeviceLocator : DMII4
Memory Type : 3DRAM
Where instead of DIMM4 in the fourth section here it has 'DMII4' as you can see which seems odd as I would expect ‘DIMM4’
I don’t know anything about memory but if you need to know more I’ll try to find out,
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve.
