I occasionally come across situations where reported memory size is half of what's physically installed. For instance, I had a machine with 64mb of PC100 ram and I installed another 64mb stick (different brand) but the reported size was only 96mb, not 128 as expected.
On another machine, it had one stick of DDR2100 128mb, but was only reporting 96mb??
These reported sizes are on POST and using Memtest.
I have always used 'same type' and 'same speed' as the basic rules of thumb when adding memory - is there others I should know about?
Cheers,
Brodie
