Sorry, but I still think there is something not right.
I have four other XP-Pro SP3 systems, all different and all Dell desktops and they all show the exact amount of RAM installed under Control Panel| System on the front page.
This 2950 is showing only partial installed RAM.
My concern is more to do with it not using the memory correctly. Right now I have an issue with a simple hard drive speed test utility not wanting to run. It runs on all my other XP machines with far less RAM.
Is there a way I can test the system to see if the memory is being used properly?
Thanks!
