50% RAM Modules Missing?

[Guest]

I just happen to notice a decrease in performance. I have two (2) 512MB SDRAM
Modules 16x(64Mx4) PC133U 3-3-3-5 on my board.

I have a few utility prog's that keep track of RAM usage, etc. Well, they
are showing that I only now have 512MB total system memory. I checked MS
System Properties on the Generalm Tab same thing 512MB.

I also checked w/SiSoftware Sandra, same thing. Except it does show my other
stick listed on the mainboard info module.

I am quite confused on this one. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Tim

Remove and reinstall your RAM. You could just have an oxidized contact,
rendering a stick inoperative. Removing/reinstalling will clean the
contacts.

Thanks, that did it. I didn't see any oxidation. Regardless, it worked. Thank
you.
