So it should have 1.5 Gb but all that is registering on the system is about 896MB ? I know you lose a bit of RAM to the OS etc. but not that much ? I have checked that both are correctly fitted and the clips are in place. Could it be the second slot containing the 512MB card is not working ?

thanks
