AHA! You're right Bill. Spec page says expandable to 2GB. I'm maxed out! It's OK. It ran pretty snappy with 1GB. This is the VPC machine so I wanted a little more RAM. Thanks.

Also some machines will not accept miss matched ram, they want the same type in each slot.

So maybe this box has a 2GB limit. I'll have to check the bios. However, it also shows under the specs, two empty memory slots with 0MB memory installed. This is an E-Machines box - 3GHz P4.

Some need matched pairs, some ECC and some not, etc.: http://www.crucial.com/us/vista/index.aspx John B. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Rocky Smolin at Beach Access Software Sent: Saturday, December 20, 2008 11:16 PM To: List; 'Off Topic' Subject: [dba-Tech] Memory Upgrade Dear Lists: My Vista machine had two 1/2 GB memory modules. I swapped one out for a 2GB module. System says I have 2GB but the other 1/2GB module is still in slot 2. Is there any way to get the system to recognize two modules of different capacities so I can have 2.5GB?
