windowsxp slows down after mem upgrade

[Pieter Cramwinckel]

Hi
Are there any issues in installing more memory?
I recently installed a 512 mb chip next to my 250 mb chip.
Bios recogniszed it ok, but WINXP Pro slowed down considerably.

Can one of the Experts enlighten us on this issue ?--

It's absolutely essential that any new RAM module(s) be fully
compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other RAM module(s)
already in the system. Additionally, there are sometimes jumper
switches on older motherboards that need to be reset for new RAM
configurations. Consult your motherboard's manual or the
manufacturer's web site for specific instructions and compatibility
requirements.

Also, some motherboards require the largest RAM stick installed in the first
memory slot.
