Hi iam having HP Pavilion Media Center a1320in Desktop PC.
my motherboard specs..
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&dlc=en&cc=us&os=228&product=1823355&sw_lang=

i bought my pc on 2006. at dat time it was having 256mb ram(533mhz DDR2 sdram).
then i bought 512 mb from other vendor. so it became 768mb. and it was working fine.
then i bought 1 gb ram.
now the problem is wen i use 1gb ram with 512mb ram or 1gb with 256mb ram, my windows detects only 1 gb ram. not the other rams.
like it should show 1.5gb(1gb+512mb) or 1.2gb(1gb+256mb).

On my 1gb ram its written
DNHMAU1GC6FER1 - A6
1GB PC2 - 5300U - 555
KOREA 0850


On my 512 mb ram
512M DDR2 533 DIMM 4-4-4
17 10 19- 5863 RoHS[JU]


On my 256mb ram
256MB 1Rx16 PC2 - 4200U - 444 - 12
HYMP532U64BP6 - C4 AB 0550
 
I believe the problem you are experiencing here is that when both 512MB ram chips are installed together the system wants to operate in Dual channel mode. That’s the reason.
 
some ram chips are picky and only work with other chips just like them (i know some people like that) try using the matching memory sticks.
