Sorry, this is a double post. I put it under the Memory section, but have been unable to figure this out yet, so I am hoping here is better.

I just got a second stick of Samsung DDR400 512mb ram. I have gotten it all installed, but have been unable to get the computer to detect it as 1gb. This is what I have done:

1) Tested the ram individually in each bank, and tried different combos.
2) Updated my Mobo/BIOS.
3) Played around in BIOS for like an hour.

The computer will STILL not detect it as 1024mb. The ram is installed correctly, snapped in tight. I currently have a stick in bank 1 and 2, leaving 3 empty. The first stick I bought last year when I built the system, has a slightly different item number then the new one I got, but I doubt that should make a differerence. They are both DDR400 PC3200 184pin 512mb. Only visible difference is on of the sticks height is a couple mm larger. Would the item # have to be identical to work? I can't see it..

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong, because I am stumped. Thanks for any help.
