Okay fellow gurus. Here's a problem I've never seen before.
I have an eMachines W2828 which a client brought to me for a clean up, fresh Windows install, etc.
I noticed it only had 192MB of RAM so I decided to install additional memory. Upon removing the installed RAM I noticed it was a 256MB card. I took that card out and added a pair of 256MB cards. However, upon booting into Windows I noticed it was still only showing 192MB. I checked the BIOS settings and it too is only showing 192MB.
I took out one card of 256MB DDR-400MHz-CL3 and put two (same specs) in its place.
The product page is showing it is expandable to 2GB.
What would cause this and how do I make it right? Thank you.
