After re-installing XP again onto my laptop, I right clicked 'my computer' just to check my laptop specs and it tells me I only got a 256mb RAM, no wonder why it's so slow now. The laptop came in 2 x 512mb = 1.024mb RAM. I checked the RAM in my laptop to see if it's loose or damaged, but it seems fine. Anybody know why my computer can't detect my other 700mb-ish RAM and how I can get it back?
