Dear Herman,
Please exact the exact capacity amount so that we get to see into the matter. If it shows only 2 GB of memory, it might be that you have been sold a fake product.
Thanks in advance.

Hi King.mac56,
Thanks for the response. I did think it might have been a defective Dimm, so I removed the second Dimm and only left the 2GB dimm. When I looked at the system BIOS and system, it states 2GB. I also downloaded at tool called CPU-Z. When this tool looks at the memory, it states 3GB. Will the system use the 3GB of physical memory even if the BIOS only reports 2GB? I don't know if windows doesn't care what the bios reports and still uses the physical memory.
Thanks again,
Herman

maybe bios upgrade? the same speed memory?
I think this must be a chipset issue and the vendor who sold me the memory is wrong and it can't support 4GB. Thank you for the support,
