HELP!! I'M FREAKING OUT!!! Both slots are working perfectly.



Edit: I updated the bios of my mobo (without precaution) and it's still showing up 512mb :(

Sounds like Windows is only reporting that.

Performance shows only 512 usable ....
Wierd indeed...are both memory the same?
Frecuency , and is your bios setup correctly?
im out of ideas

EDIT : i saw you updated bios , go inside it and check where is memory options.

Tried messing it and boom... still the same

Both ram are the same 512mb ddr400 but different brand.

How much Ram support your Motherboard?

Check your Ram Specs and make sure your mobo support it.
Make sure in bois both slots (channels) are working equal?
Like you say your ram is the same specs? check it good.
The wierd is your Z App is showing the new Ram also.

this is what i found on google/yahoo

Quote:Make sure you have the proper memory. Proper speed etc. Make sure you populate the motherboard according to spec. Some won't recognize memory if not in correct order. always put in same sized modules. IE 2 512's forget the 256.

Also does your video card use shared ram?

No.

For me its that the Ram modules are not the same.
Make sure about everything of the specs.

Spot the difference...



Maybe because of those??

there you have it , if you can change the Ram.
Must be this!
