HI,
i have installes 2 gigs of ram, however the system in win xp states i only have 1,50.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Are you running on board video??

If you are not, then it is possible windows is not detecting the RAM because it is bad/faulty.

You can run memtest86+ for four hours min to check this, google, burn to disk, boot off of.
Might also need to flash BIOS for some dumb reason..

I Suspect he is using Onboard Video

Nope, no onboard video, 7600gt, baffling problem

Maybe your motherboard only supports 1.5gig

What model is it?

 

[phisher]

its asustek p4s-la, and i've read somewhere that it does support 2 gigs max,

there could be memory dedicated to ur video card

 

[phisher]

Yes, its from a hp, year 2002, 2.4, pretty low, but playing crysis at the mo , with low settings of course
