    I decided to buy some more RAM for my pc when i got a new graphics card, to increase from 2gb-4, i have put it in but it doesn't say that it is there. I dont have a clue why not. how can i find out why that is?? cheers

    actually that is wrong. I did a Steam survey thing and it said I have 2gb but i just found out it is registering 3.5gb, Is it less than 4 because im using the wrong speed or something??

    If you are using win xp 32bit then that is why - xp can only 'see' 3 1/2 gb of your 4gb.

    Solution - move to xp 64bit or vista - neither of which would I actually recommend at this current time ^_^
