This may sound a little cheap but...

I'm a bit confused about the details Crucial sent you Sam. You have 1GB worth of Ram installed with 0 available Memory Slots and a total number of Ram slots on your motherboard is 2? Am I reading that right?

 

Out of curiousity what kind of memory do you have installed?

 

P.s.

Download and install Everest if you'd like to see specific info about parts that are in your pc. Very useful tool I use on occasion to see psrt numbers and such.

Crucial tool will tell you graphically what is in each slot. without the detail I took it to assume he has 2 512Mb sticks. as it is dual channel compatible. gonna go check out that everest.

 

 

 

Edit: Cool tool. too bad the trial is littered with [TRIAL VERSION] everywhere

Me too except it kinda implies that his board only has a total of 2 memory slots instead of 4. I find that odd.

When I was shopping for a motherboard I did see some with only 2 slots, I avoided them as I wanted to someday go to 16Gb is necessary.

Yup I have 2x512, gonna have a look see at that everest just for you Schot

Huh, well I'll be darned... I didn't know you could buy motherboards with 2 memory slots. And that was exactly what I was hoping you'd post Sam.

 

@loco: Yeah... Those [TRIAL VERSION] markers sure do make me curious. ^^
