Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
I have 640MB of RAM installed on my pc (emachines 220 running XP Home) but when i go to computer properties it says i only have 256mb. I removed the 512mb upgrade that i installed over a year ago and rebooted the pc, checked and it was showing 128mb so i reinstalled the 512mb and removed the 128mb and rebooted the pc and it shows 256mb so i then put both in the pc and rebooted and it still shows 256mb.
I had no problem until recently when i noticed my pc was running slower than normal. My motherboard supports 2gig of Ram so i don't think there's an issue there.
Checked the bios and where it says "extended memory" the number says something like 650000kb. Is this RAM??
I'm getting desperate, hope someone can help.
Cheers.
