Hi
I tried to upgrade my ram from 256mb to 512mb.
So I removed two 128mb ram modules from another computer and put it in the system I wanted to upgrade. The 256mb ram is PC133 and ONE of the 128mb ram modules is PC133 while the other is PC100.
Here is my problem:
I used cpu-z to check the memory slots and all three ram modules are detected, but it shows only 384mb of ram.
I assumed that since 256+128+128=512, that would be the case, but apparently not. I think it has to do with the lone PC100?
I removed the PC100 and now the system says that there is 320mb ram...?
256+128 is meant to equal 384.
I'm totally confused at the moment.
Any help? thanks
