Alright, so I have an old computer (Compaq Presario SR2170NX) and it was getting slow for playing games. I bought some ram to put into it. The old ram was Double Sided (DS from now on) and the new was Single Sided (SS from now on).
I installed the ram properly multiple times, in all the different configs (2 slots for ram, 6 different installations, including single card, to see if it was defective). Both cards worked properly on their own, but in my Bios, it only detected 1 stick of RAM. I used DXdiag, it said 1GB of ram, But the total page file added up to 2GB.
I took some screen shots, edited them for your convenience and will describe each one.
DXdiag telling it like it is.
Lolwut?
I think this is my SS.
DS?
Anyways, what's the problem?
