Okay, here are some more specs (some are not needed, I know, I'm just giving all information available): * Processor: Intel Pentium D 3.0 GHz 32 bit * Video Card: RADEON X850 XT Platinum Edition 256MB memory * BIOS: Pheonix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A01 * RAM: 3326MB (or 4GB, which is the maximum for it, used to have 1GB) * OS: Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600) 32 bit Now I see what you're talking about, Ephi, with the boldface/underlined text. So I guess that 4GB of RAM is a little too much for the processor and OS to handle, is that the case? |

well a 32bit OS can only use up to like.... 3.6gigs. in my experience it just caps it off and uses that amount. haven't really seen it cause problems though. however i would still remove the ram one by one. try playing with 3 sticks so your under the memory cap. see if its better. then try again back at your original 1 stick you had before the upgrade. see if it actually helped. did you buy 3 new sticks of ram and put them in? or did you buy 4 new ones and removed the original one? different speeds and types of ram are not always fully compatible. |

Yes, we originally had two 512MB cards; we bought 4 1GB cards, which was the most our system could hold, but the handicapped Dell rep didn't even bother to ask whether our OS and processor were 32 or 64 bit. I'll experiment around with removing and replacing the cards, see what happens. One question though, if we kept the same RAM in there but upgraded to, say, Windows 7 64 bit, would that make any difference? Because I know that you can use a 64-bit processor with a 32-bit OS, but not the other way around, so I doubt that would work. |

If you upgraded to a 64 bit version of Windows 7 then yes, you could use all 4 gb of ram. |
