652883 2008-03-26 06:04:00 2 sticks of RAMM in a Gigagbyte GA 7VT-600 motherboard.

Configuration 1 x 1 gig, 1 x 512 mb sticks. The 1 gig is new.

Windows XP Pro - SP2 shows as 1 gig available.

But if I run System Info , it correctly identifies the two sticks , make and size.

So I can assume they are seated correctly and functioning normally, but something is not quite right.

Is this a Windows Issue or Mobo issue?

Thanks

652888 2008-03-26 07:11:00 Ah, getting somewhere. POST shows 1048, so would appear to be a mobo issue.

I'll try reseating and a different combination, get back to you.
