I have a question on this reply. I currently have a 512 stick in the computer and just purchased a 1 gig as an addition. Am I reading this correctly? When I install the new 1 gig stick the computer will only work off of the 512?
I was under the impression that it would then be using ALL the RAM installed and I'd then have a total of 1.5 gigs. to work with. But as I read this if I leave the 512in along with the 1 gig, it will still only run off of the 512?
Can someone please clarify. No sense in leaving both in if the lower RAM is all that will be used by the computer.
