    Default RAM Upgrade

    I have 256MB DDR 266mhz PC2100 installed. I then installed 1GB DDR 400mhz PC3200 and its ok but the computer thinks it has 768MB because with my motherboard, 512 is the max i can put in each slot (512 + 256 = 768). Now, my question is are my games running with 1.2GB or because the pc thinks it has only 768, is that all thats really running? Please help bcos i need more RAM soon and need to know if i should spend the money.

    If your motherboard only supports 512mb in each slot, then that is all that will be available to the computer. In a sense - you're wasting money if you go for any more than your motherboard supports.

    You could however upgrade your motherboard as well, but then you're starting to incur extra expense.
