I've recently installed two additional sticks of Rambus PC800-40 in a Dell Dimension I'm working on. It came with 128x2, and I put those in the second pair of memory slots and installed 256x2 in the primary pair of slots. The computer runs alot faster, programs load in seconds compared to up to a minute before the upgrade, and all four sticks show up in SiSoftware Sandra, and it shows that are all working properly.
However, when I right-click My Computer, with 768MB installed, it says I have 256MB of RAM installed. When I take out the 128x2 in the second pair of slots and put in the dummy sticks, it displays 448MB in My Computer and 512MB in Sandra. Any ideas what's going on?
