    if your BIOS will not recognize your extra ram, your problem is not to do with windows. check your settings. if bios finds it and says it's working, try updating windows. there could be a LOT of causes for this, and AMD based systems seem to have these kinds of problems often.

    well, you probably have more than enough ram installed, your comp shouldn't miss that extra gig :)
