As I read your message, you bought the pc with 2 dual 512 sticks, added
2 1gb sticks, and now replaced the 2 dual 512 sticks with 2 more 1 gb
sticks. Per the kingston.com website:
MODULES MUST BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED IN PAIRS for Dual Channel mode.
This system is configurable and may ship with either DDR2-400
(KTD-DM8400/xx) or DDR2-533 (KTD-DM8400A/xx). These are compatible and
can be mixed, however when mixed they will default to DDR2-400.
If 4GB is installed, the recognized memory may be reduced to 3.5GB or
less (depending on system configuration and memory allocation).
Maximum configurations require a 64-bit operating system.
.
You may have a mix of memory that's not 100% compatible with the bios,
motherboard, or the other 1 gb sticks already installed..
You can also try the dell.com website. If you enter your pc service
number, you can get more detailed info from their site.
