Question : Problem: Memory is not recognized

Hi,

I attached CPU-Z screenshots in order to simplify the explanation. Basically both Windows and BIOS won't recognize 2 Gb of DDR2 RAM,only 896 Mb (1Gb), even if the sticks are identical (two kingston sticks, same model).

What is this extended RAM, that appears also in the BIOS setup?

What can I do in order to make the PC recognize the 2 Gb?

Cheers

Those memory modules are 4 bank memory

Two of them is 8 banks.

Your Mainboard is model D2480.
It has a Radeon Xpress 1100 (RC415) Chipset.

Your chipset supports a maximum of 4 banks of memory.
