I have a HP a1520y that I purchased before the vista release and came with
512MB of memory. It is vista ready. I got my free vista upgrade last week
and installed it over the media center OS. Two days ago, I finally got my
second stick of 512MB memory, same brand same specs.
After the memory install and powering up I got a "new hardware detected"
message and I hit refresh to get it to update my added memory. It did
nothing, the base score is still the same after almost 20 refresh cycles.
The system sees the full 1GB of memory but did not change the memory score
of 2.0. I tested the memory few times with windows and other applications
and no errors! My next lowest score in the index is the Aero performance
which is at 3.2 so, memory is the only thing pulling my score down.
The "new hardware detected" message still shows up even after all the
refresh and update index cycles! The system seems to run fine and the Aero
and "nice" graphics kicked in automatically after adding the memory but the
system does not want to update the score. Any help or suggestions are
greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
