Ken,
Your laptop is able to use 8
gig of memory, if it isn't
seen try reseating it,
sometimes it seems to be fully
seated but may not be.
I suggest you download and run
the free CCleaner from
Piriform and their Defraggler
which I have found to be far
superior to MS's defrag.
Feel free to Email me if I can
be of help.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Memory not
recognized
My wife has a 64-bit Windows
7-based Dell Inspiron N5050,
which came with 4 GB of RAM.
She has complained that it has
been running more and more
slowly, so I decided to add
another memory card. I got it
directly from Dell since I've
had issues with third-party
RAM before on my own machine.
I installed it per the
directions in the user manual,
but when I next started the
computer and looked at the
System Information display, I
saw that it still only shows a
total of 4 GB of RAM even
though a total of 8 GB is
physically installed in the
machine at this point.
Is there something I should be
doing to "activate" the other
4 GB of RAM?
Thanks!
Ken
