Upgrading specs help

[squallheart]

Alright im thinking about upgrading my pc i used to programs to scan my pc Belarc Advisor and www.crucial.com/systemscanner. Now when i did this i found to odd things first i have 1gb of ram installed right but both of these programs are reporting it wrong for some reason, i havent fooled around with my pc in upgrading it since i bought it about 1yr ago only once when the memory it came with one was wrong and they replaced it and just put it in and it works so i dont know why it is reporting at 128 slock 1 and 2 but iwant to upgrade my pcs memory

1024 Megabytes Installed Memory

Slot 'A0' has 128 MB
Slot 'A1' has 128 MB
Slot 'A2' is Empty
Slot 'A3' is Empty

Now as u can tell by these reports what i find odd is that both are reporting 128 mb int two slots when its suppose to be 512 on two slots
much help would be apreciated thank you. I read the memory tutorial though it did not help and found out my pc takes DDR PC3200,DDR PC2700,DDR PC4000

Right click on My Computer and go to Properties and see what it says. 256 vs 1 gig is a pretty big discrepancy on how it is reported. You may want to look into a BIOS update.

I did some googling, you have a Gigabyte K8N something board? Try Everest instead of Belarc, people had better luck with it. The NF-CK804 is the nForce4 rather than your actual motherboard.
