HI. I have a Dell Inspiron, One 2320, 64-bit. It came with 2 slots and one has a 4g stick. I got another 4g of RAM to upgrade to 8 and it recognizes the extra RAM, the specs now say 8g, but the useable amount stayed the same as before, 2.92 g. Please advise if you can, Thanks.

Are the same brand or are they totally different RAM modules?
