Your computer will recognize the Random Access Memory modules you installed on the motherboard if it is the correct brand and type, and is installed correctly. If you find that the computer is reporting, at different times, different RAM levels, you have either installed the new RAM incorrectly (as in an incorrect sequence), or you have a faulty RAM module, or your motherboard has a short on it.

I don't think you can, if they are both 512 or 256 then you can, but this way the address of the RAM will cause error at use

you probable have too many classes loading on startup. And opportunities are high, you do no longer prefer all of them working at as quickly as. in an attempt to scrub issues up somewhat, try this: click commence > Run > kind MSCONFIG and press ok. interior the equipment Configuration utility, click the Startup tab. From right here, you will discover all of the classes that load once you commence domicile windows. flow in the process the checklist and uncheck something you do no longer prefer or have not have been given any thought what that's. some products have imprecise names which at the instant are not rather outstanding as a application you comprehend. opportunities are high, you could uncheck each little thing and be purely great. basically, you could commence this equipment manually, which should not be a huge deal while thinking the extra overall performance you will get from doing this. be conscious: this could basically be a non everlasting answer. look in to getting extra reminiscence.

did you install a 512 MB stick? if so - did you insert it in to the next available spot? - if so - then you need to remove the 256 MB stick from it's original spot - insert the 512 MB stick in to this spot - then insert the 256 MB stick into the spot next to it
they should read from highest to lowest
example: 512 MB, 256 MB, 256 MB, 128 MB etc
in your case it should read as 512 MB then 256 MB

All kinds of errors can come up with mismatched RAM.
Spend the $80 and get a pair of 512's from newegg.com You won't be sorry.

Uhh.. what?
If your motherboard actually has two RAM slots then the only reason why two sticks wouldn't stack is if they were different types of RAM, or if the two slots were intended for dual-channel RAM.

It all depends on how much your computer can handle or accept, and whether there are enough slots for the two memory cards. If there are enough slots, do some research and see how much memory your computer can handle. If it's at least a GB, you're fine.

Personally i would just use the 512MB. It is alawys best to used matched pairs of memory.
Buy yourself a second 512MB stick.
