Question for anyone that can help out. I noticed yesterday in the systems screen of the control panel, that I had 480mb of RAM. I have 2 256mb sticks on the board, so shouldn't my total be 512mb? Why the 32mb difference?
Having an inquiring mind, I took a look today. Stick #1 (came with PC) is a 'elixir' PC2100U DDR 256mb 266mhz CL 2.5, also it's serial number is '75B'. Stick #2 (store bought) is a spectek kbyte PC2100 256mb, it's serial number ends in '75A'.
Note stick 2 does not have a "U" after the PC2100, nor does it mention the mhz speed or CL (Cache Level?).
Are these ok to mix :shrug:
When I had the PC open on the floor, my daughter asked what the sticks were, I explained it was like the computers brains. She said "Oh, so it lost it's mind":tongue
