   Maybe somebody recognizes this problem:  there's 512MB RAM installed on my   
   Windows XP, and it shows up in all the usual profiles,and everything is   
   working just fine.  But just now I noticed that only 256MB RAM is showing up   
   in the profile.  I did just install an additional hard drive and optical   
   drive, but installation went extremely smoothly and everything works just   
   fine.  Some of my RAM may have actually conked out before these installs, I   
   don't know.  Can a memory module just go bad?   I'm sure I didn't knock a   
   memory module loose when I had the PC opened up, but could something else   
   have disturbed one of the RAM modules, like static or dust?   
      
   thanks in advance for any comments or advice.
