I upgrade the ram in my Medion PC MT6.
It has 4 slots in two banks, each bank having a green and black slot.
It came with two cards, 256mb each.
I put in 4 cards of 1gb each, and I was very careful to purchase the correct ones.
It works fine, but my Control Panel/System says I have 3.12 G of ram, and my System Information says:
Total Physical Memory 3,199.48 MB
Available Physical Memory 2.46 GB
Total Virtual Memory 2.00 GB
Available Virtual Memory 1.96 GB
Page File Space 6.10 GB
Page File C:pagefile.sys
Surely these readings should be 4GB ram?
Each card snigged in nicely, are perfectly locked by the tabs at each end and I wonder if I should take them out & reseat them? It appears to me that one of them may not be registering??
Some RAM/MEDION guru help/advise me please!

I'm not a guru, but your predicament is pretty simple.
Depending on your OS (XP 32 bit, XP 64 bit, Vista), the OS will be able to recognize a certain amount of RAM. XP 64 Bit will be able to recognize up to 6GB of RAM. Vista, I have no Idea. 32 Bit, what you're seeing right now.
Sorry for wasting a bit of money on that last stick.

Thanks, Nobarai for such a prompt and clear response.
I will probably go for 64 bit OS.
