motherboard memory not recognised

[pevers]

I am a bit dubious as to hading over control to e`machines -what will they do, will my machine be totally in their control?Another success, I have managed over the weekend to obtain some more memory,another brand 1-Dimm 256, 1-Dimm128, both identical pins. Now I have succeeded in getting them both to be recognised in the `Belarc Advisor`showing a total of 384_mgb. installed. Looking at the gold pins there is a slight diffeence in the dimensions, one being larger than the other. What is your opinionon this? Is the memory being used? Cheers Dave

i think emachines will try and flash your bios by remote this does carry a risk and they should really tell you what that risk is before you allow them access.

what does your bios memory count say ?
just as your bios post it should do a memory test then give you the total in the machine that is a sure way of knowing the machine has seen all the memory.

another way is to see how much memory windows says you have, to check that go into control panel, double click the system icon on the first page it will tell you your cpu what windows version your running and the amount of memory you have, don't forget if you have onboard video the memory amount will look less.


your bios memory count is the best option
