• Some RAM issues.

Okay, here are my current computer specs: Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 2.0GHz CPU ATI Radeon HD 2400 GPU 2GB DDR2 667MHz RAM P5LP-LE (Leonite2) Motherboard Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit The other day I bought 2 512MB RAM sticks. They are also DDR2 667MHz. I installed them with my current memory but CPUID was telling me that I still only have 2GB of RAM. So I took out the old sticks and put the new sticks in alone, and CPUID (correctly) told me that I have 1GB RAM. For some reason though, it's not recognizing the new RAM when I put it in with the old one - I've tried switching slots and everything. What could the problem be?
First off, you have a 32-bit operating system. Which means that it can only read/utilize 3.25GBs, regardless if you have 4GBs in there or not.
Are you [B]sure[/B] the new ram is the same frequency as your old ram?
[QUOTE=alphaspida;23945896]Are you [B]sure[/B] the new ram is the same frequency as your old ram?[/QUOTE] That wouldn't cause it. Go into your bios and look around, there is a bios setting in Asus motherboards called memory mapping, that disabled dosent allow more than 2gbs to be used.
Yeah, I know 32 bits don't like more than 3GB, that's why I bought an extra 1GB instead of 2. I'll try that BIOS thing out, thanks :)
