Hi again Group,

I just put in 2 x 512 MB RAM into my XP Pro (AMD 2500) computer. Now my
"system Properties" is telling me that I only have 448MB. What have I done
wrong? Help would be greatly appreciated

Did you make sure (manuals) that your computer (hardware) could handle that
much RAM?
If you did, did you verify the type/speed?
If you did, did you verify the placement?

As the difference is exactly 64MB. I'd guess you have an onboard video
chipset that shares part of your system memory to operate.

If that's the case the reported memory is accurate.

HI HBB,,but I have "2" (two) at 512MB. Where did the other one go when the
one has already been accounted for.

Yes, yes and yes.

Nobody has ever told me how to cross post and I have been at this for
some time. Every says "Crosspost". Okay....., tell me how.

How much RAM does your BIOS/post screen tell you that you have?

As for your other question about "How to CrossPost" (as well as the ones you
keep coming back for) -
might I suggest learning to use Google?

Please accept my humble apologies I misread. (missed the 2X)

Do they (the two sticks) work individually?
Are they identical sticks?
Have you verified that your motherboard will support a gig of RAM?
