   Hi,   
      
   I upgraded the memory of my computer from 512 Mb tot 1,5 Gb. I did this by   
   installing a 1 Gb stick in a free memory slot (so the other slot already   
   contained a 512 Mb memory stick).   
   The (windows-) program CPU-Z reports the correct amount memory installed -   
   so far no problem. However, the task manager of Windows XP Home reports only   
   982252 kb, so about 1 Gb.   
   Obviously the question is: why does Windows XP detect only 1 Gb?   
   Some more info:   
   - motherboard Asus P5RD2-VM   
   - CPU: intel pentium D915, socket 775 LGA   
   - memory is DDR2. Max bandwidth slot 1 (512 Mb stick) is 266 Mhz, max   
   bandwidth slot 2 (1 Gb stick) is 333 Mhz   
      
   Thanks in advance!
