OK - I'm going out of my mind here. I've got an admittedly old computer that I decided to add more memory to. It's a Compaq Presario 6016US with an AMD Athlon 1.8GHz and 512 MB of RAM. I bought Kingston 512MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 266 (PC 2100) after double and triple checking that is was the correct type. The computer has two memory slots so I put the new one in the empty slot. The computer booted up just fine but when I check the system information it still only shows 512 MB of RAM. I opened the case and verified that the stick was seated correctly and it appears to be.
What else can I do or check? Do companies take RAM back if I can't get it to work? I bought it from Newegg.
Thanks in advance
