Ok so my system is about 6years old now altho still going strong.
Anyway i want to upgrade the
RAM as the system was a 512mb when bought and haven't changed it to date.
Did have a look and im sure each stick was a Samsung 258mb each.
So i have run the System Scanner on Crucial website but its come up with an unexpected result.
"
Maximum Memory Capacity: 4096MB
Currently Installed Memory: 4.125GB
Available Memory Slots: 2
Number of Banks: 4
Dual Channel Support: No
CPU Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
CPU Family: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4
CPU 3.06GHz Model 2, Stepping 7
CPU Speed: 3058 MHz
Installed in pairs of modules. "
So According to this i have 4gb of memory installed , yet on the diagram on the left it shows "
Currently installed memory:
128MB
DDR PC3200
4GB
EMPTY
EMPTY
Each memory slot can hold DDR PC3200,DDR PC2700 with a maximum of 1GB per slot.*"
So by that it has 1 stick of 3200 , 128mb and a 4gb stick of something .
What are the likely causes?
Messed up sticks of
Ram?
Bad system scan?
