    Hey, please share your knowledge how to test operative memories in bulk but to be able to see the performance of each other :?

    confusing? .. hummm, here is a short story:

    Just bought 4 2nd-hand 1gb Kingston DDRAM-s
    1) After I installed them at the very beginning - pc was bleeping, saying that there should be a problem with cabling or ram.
    2) I removed all of them and placed in different orders (twice) and everything was fine.

    still I feel that before with 1.5gb ram my pc was running better than now, so I decided to compare what says my system..

    And here comes an indicator of problem:

    BIOS says:

    System information from Control Panel says:

    what would you suggest to do?

    thank you in advance,
    Helmuts

    found the answer: although xp allows to use memory up tp 4gb - 32-bit version will show less and will allocate rest somewhere else.

    tx anyway

    yeah don't worry about what XP says BIOS shows the true memory.
