Is there anyway someone could tell me how to determine why Windows is
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
