Are all the sticks the same brand?

not picking up new RAM I just installed? I have a Dell Dimension 4700
that came with 2 dual 512 sticks. Later I put 2 1G sticks that Windows
picked up. I have now replaced the old 512's with 2 1G sticks. The
BIOS setup picks the new sticks up, but when in the properties menu
under My Computer, it shows the total from the old configuration. How
do I determine whether the sticks or bad or Windows is the problem?



Thanks,

Trey Holm
