[dba-Tech] RAM Terminology

I've had that problem a couple of times and once it couldn't recognize a
motherboard. It's not perfect but quite good.

It told me that my laptop took a maximum of 2GB of RAM and would only show
up to 1GB chips.

It did however recognise that I have 4GB of RAM in it. ( 2 x 2GB chips)
