I have an 8 year old MESH with an A7V8X motherboard.
I recently started finding it slow so I bought an extra 1GB RAM to go with the 512 it came with. I have installed the extra 1GB and its definately faster.
However, the manual says:
3 x DDR DIMM Sockets
Maximum 3GB unbuffered PC2100/1600 non-ECC SDRAM Memory.
Note: PC2700 maximum to 2 DIMM support only.
PC3200 maximum to 1 DIMM support only.
The 1 GB RAM I bought is PC3200. So does this mean that the most RAM I can ever use is that 1GB and that the (old) 512 is redundant and may as well be removed?
When I look at My Computer/Properties it says I have 1.5GB RAM. Also SpeedUpMyPC software says I have 1.5GB but are these just telling me how much RAM I have installed rather than how much of it my PC can use at its max?
How can I test if I can use the full 1.5GB?
Thanks.
