I have an old computer that has 1.5gb of ddr (pc2100) ram. The mobo supports up to three sticks (3 gigs). I just removed the 512 stick and added 2x1gb pc3200 sticks. Does it work? I can't tell because when I go to system properties it's still showing 1.5gb, meaning it has not added or subtracted any value.
Only 3 ram slots?
This can be caused by the ram not being pushed in all the way, but also, there may be a problem with one of the ram sticks or ram slots. Try rotating them around and through a process of elimination you should be able to find the problem.
A program like CPU-z can help by showing what's in a particular slot.

Many older motherboards won't support more than a specified ammount of RAM at a specified frequency, Example:
3GB PC2100
2GB PC2700
1.5GB PC3200
That's pretty standard.
Otherways, check that all modules are inserted properly and that the mobo is configured for using all three slots.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
I did what you guys suggested and turns out the middle slot is messed up. The two end brackets weren't holding the ram down securely. Thanks.
What ya gonna do about it now?
