DWCAce 19 Posted June 7, 2008 According to one site, my comp can support up to 3.0gigs of ram. It came with 2x256, added 1x 512 two years ago, and two weeks ago added a 1x1gig. Today I bought another 2x1gig of the same manufacturer/model to bring it up to the max of 3.0 However, with the 3x1gig setup, only 2.5 was recognized. I through the 512 in there, and now it's up to 3.0. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JediMaster 451 Posted June 9, 2008 Is it an AGP model? If you have that aperture setting too high I believe it takes RAM away. Also, 32-bit Windows has issues when you put more than 2GB of RAM in as far as addressing and it's also related to how much RAM your video card has. 64-bit Windows do not suffer that limitation, and in fact it's one of the main reasons for its development. In short, unless you go to XP 64 or Vista 64 you may never see it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
