Hi all,
First off, I'm an idiot with computers. I got some new RAM and a new video card for my ol' computer. I have an asus a7v mobo with 3 RAM slots(up to 1.5g)
I had 640mb when I had my computer built, a 512 and a 128, and an open slot. My question is this. I tossed the 128 and bought 2 512mb Kingston pc133 chips. (pn#KTC-EN133/512) After intalling them, I only got 1024mb to total pysical memory. ??? If I pull one of them, it shows 768mb...as if they are only 256 chips. But, if I pull all three, and put one of the new 512's in (that acts like a 256) it shows up as 512.
Can someone please tell me what's wrong?
Oh, and please don't laugh at my ol relic. Best computer I ever had.
