RAM problems

[DBrueck]

I just bought 2, 1 gb chips of ddr ram. After I installed them my computer is registering as having 1 gb of ram total. I have a shuttle ak32v motherboard and I looked it up it supports up to 2 gb's of ram so i know thats not the issue. I also flashed my bios (<advice from a friend) But it still says I have 1gb of ram. Well I'm pretty much going nutz here. and help would be great.



BTW:

Are you sure you were given 1GB for each RAM? There are numoerous cases where the company selling you the RAM could've made a mistake by sending you 2 512 DIMM

I'm sure model #dd1024333nbaa210301004 plus the package said 1 gb <;0)

It is also possible that one RAM stick could be damaged, or unoperational.

Read the Package again.

Read the package again. It probably says dual-channeling RAM. In that case, it would be expected to get two 512 ram sticks per package. If the package says 1024 x2, then you got ripped. Either way- bring it back to the store, or any store to see if they can help you, or if you didn't read English properly. Good luck.
