" Hi! I am Mike on behalf of Expert Village and this segment I would like to talk about upgrading the memory on your computer. The first thing you do is you probably want to figure out if you really need a memory upgrade. The typical symptoms are when you are surfing the internet or you are doing e-mail having Microsoft word files opened that your computer is really slowing down you are likely you know sitting for you know a minute waiting for things to happen, so you know that is obviously what you want to do. The other thing is that with the new operating systems like Microsoft Vista, this is going to be introduced, you are going to need a lot of memory for that too. So, you know for all of those reasons you know memory upgrade is a good project, it is going to pay of lot dividend for you. A good rule of thumb is if you have is if it is an older machine within the last two years you probably don’t have a whole lot of memory in it and you are going to want to upgrade."

on 5/3/2009 Mike, I have a Gigabyte MA-790 board, with 4 slots on the board for RAM.The thing is I was running 2 OCZ 6400 800 MHZ chips at 2GB per chip and I added another set identical to the first.The question is: Why does my PC not show the new RAM in the properties section and in dxdiag as existing, it says I still have 3.55GB RAM? What can I do?
